It'd be handy if there was a keyboard shortcut for hiding and showing the sidebar. Sublime has cmd+k+b and it's a quick way of gaining some screen real estate when you need it. Anybody know if this exists or if the user can add it manually to VS Code?
The command can be triggered via Ctrl+B on Windows and Linux or Cmd+B on the Mac.
There are 3 bars on the side, 2 left and 1 right:
the activity bar with 5 buttons
the primary sidebar toggled by clicking any of the activity bar buttons.
the minimap
All of these hotkeys and more (e.g. the terminal & output panel, Ctrl+J) are now visible through the View (Alt-V) and View>Appearance menus:
The activity bar has no toggle hotkey by default, but you can assign one like this:
{
"key": "ctrl+alt+b",
"command": "workbench.action.toggleActivityBarVisibility"
},
Or hide completely with "workbench.activityBar.visible": false
The sidebar toggle hotkey is Ctrl+B by default, but may be overridden by e.g. vim plugin, here's how to enforce or change it:
{
"key": "ctrl+b",
"command": "workbench.action.toggleSidebarVisibility"
},
The minimap can be hidden with "editor.minimap.enabled": false and toggled with editor.action.toggleMinimap since vscode 1.16.
And with the Sidebar-activity toggler extension, so you toggle both activity and sidebar together with one key mapping to sidebar-activity-toggler.toggleSidebarAndActivityBar
To Hide the 5 button Activity Bar we can now:
View -> Hide Activity Bar
This is in vscode 1.9, not sure which version it was introduced in.
As Benjamin Pasero's answer states you can use:
Ctrl+B on Windows and Linux
⌘ Cmd+B on the Mac.
but sometimes you have another keyboard shortcut with ⌘ Cmd+B, in my case I had it to format some React code. To reverse that you can use the following:
Code > Preferences > Keyboard Shortcuts (⌘+K ⌘+S) then search for B and disable the other shortcut command.
You can also change the it and put which ever shortcut you want, just search for Toggle Side Bar Visibility like this:
Just in case you be intended for hiding the right lateral "sidebar", also called minimap, there is no shortcut. But you can configure the settings with:
{"editor.minimap.enabled: false"}
One can also hide the activity bar with the following setting in settings.json:
"workbench.activityBar.visible": false
To hide/show the side bar:
Ctrl+B on Linux and Windows.
⌘ Cmd+B on Mac.
No need to edit Settings.json directly
Do the following:
Open the Keyboard Shortcuts by pressing ctrl+k & ctrl+s
Search: "Toggle Activity Bar Visibility"
Enter the keyboard shortcut
Done!
Activity bar visibility in visual studio code
Mac users,
⌘ + B or
⌘ + 0 - Worked Perfectly
In the VS code version 1.43, you can hide or show the side menu or activity bar by going under the 'VIEW' tab in the nav bar in the top margin of VS CODE(called the 'Menu Bar'). Go to View => Appearance, there you can check or uncheck different nav bars to show/hide each one.
If you have the top bar (Menu Bar) currently hidden press 'alt' key to bring it back then follow above instructions to check it to keep it there permanently if desired.
I'm trying to do app.PressEnter(); when the keyboard appears on my iPad. The type of keyboard that appears has the option to "search" instead of "intro". On a keyboard with the "intro" option it works.
Any idea for it to work?
I just started using urxvt with emacs and there is some keyboard shortcut I'm accidentally typing that is changing the keyboard input to cyrillic or greek (not sure which). What keyboard shortcut am I probably accidentally typing? How do I switch back to U.S. English? How do I disable this keyboard shortcut?
I am only using the font-size extension, and these are my .Xresources lines for urxvt:
urxvt.iso14755: false
urxvt.font: xft:Source Code Pro:style=Regular:size=12
urxvt.scrollBar: false
urxvt.saveLines: 1048576
urxvt.termName: screen-256color
urxvt.perl-ext-common: font-size
urxvt.keysym.C-plus: font-size:increase
urxvt.keysym.C-underscore: font-size:decrease
I was accidentally typing ALT+SHIFT. Typing it again cycled back to English.
Just noticed that in UITextView keyboard comes without change language button, unlike in UITextField. Why Apple removed this button from UITextView keyboard? Is there any way to enable this button? I want people to be able to write notes on any keyboard language added in phone settings.
EDITED: Maybe it will help somebody in the future. Just noticed that I set keyboard type to UIKeyboardTypeAlphabet and this option eliminates language button. Closing this question.
P.S. I have 3 languages enabled in test iPhone.
You are completely wrong. there is no difference in UIKeyboard in iOS whatsoever. It only depends on what keyboard types you use.
UIKeyboardTypeDefault and UIKeyboardTypeEmailAddress and UIKeyboardTypeTwitter all have those.
You set it like this:
txtField.keyboardType = UIKeyboardTypeTwitter;
UIKeyboardTypeDefault is obviously the default one for any UITextView or UITextField in iOS.
For anyone have this problem even when using UIKeyboardTypeDefault on a UITextView, go into the storyboard and make sure "Secure Text Entry" is unchecked. After unchecking this, the keyboard selector will return as well as the quick type keyboard.
Is there any option for primefaces keyboard component to accept numbers form both keyboard and mouse?
I'm using primefaces keyboard component with keypadonly option to enter numbers only.
I should be able to enter numbers either from physical keyboard or virtual keyboard.
If keypadonly is set to true, I'm not able to enter data using physical keyboard.
I don't have this problem if keypadonly only attribute is not used. Did someone experience this problem? If so please let me know how to handle it.
It seems to be intentional, if keypadonly is set to true a javascript will set the input to readonly="readonly".
You may try to use a custom layout (see http://www.primefaces.org/showcase/ui/keyboard.jsf ).
This migth work:
<p:keyboard value="#{keyboardBean.value}"
layout="custom"
layoutTemplate="123-close,456-clear,789-back,0"/>
or removing the readonly attribute with a custom javascript.
