I'm developing my first apps in Android Studio (3.1.2) and I've managed to complicate my life by making my AndroidManifest.xml file read-only in one of my projects. When I click on it in the Project view, it comes up as two panes side by side, neither of which is the view I'm used to from my other projects; the view on the right says "Merging Log Value provided by Gradle"; the view on the left only allows me to DELETE lines of the manifest but I want to add some lines. I assume these views are useful to someone but they aren't to me at the moment. I'm just trying to do a straight-forward edit on the file and I can't find any option to make it appear in the editable way that I'm used to from other projects. I think I must have clicked on something somewhere in the Android Studio GUI that caused this problem but I'm darned if I know what I did.
If someone could tell me how to make the file editable again, I'd be grateful for your guidance. Bonus points if you tell me how I messed myself up so that I can avoid doing it in the future!
It turns out this was very easily solved. I just noticed that there are TWO tabs available when you look at a manifest.xml and I was in the "merged manifest" tab. As soon as I clicked on the "text" tab, my manifest.xml file appeared in its normal fully-editable form.
I must have clicked on Merged Manifest - although I don't remember doing so! - and then simply not seen the tab again until just now.
My insomnia's been pretty bad this week so I'm going to chalk this up to that. :-)
Anyway, I'm just going to leave this question and answer here in case it helps someone else some time in the future.

I apologize if asked/answered - but I truly did search....
In excel CTRL+Shift+L is not working; when I press the key sequence and the cursor spins and comes back without having accomplished turning on the filters or anything visible to me. This is the only shortcut that is not working so I did not know if I redefined it - but could not tell what it was currently defined as, I had the IT guys repair the install - All with no luck...
I would love to debug what CTRL+Shift+L does when I hit it - but could not figure out if that was possible...
Totally at wits end - - any help would be greatly appreciated.
For me it was Radeon Overlay which had the same hotkey for longing performance metrics. Just end whichever other programs you have running and see after each one if it gets fixed. Or try running excel in safe mode (Run excel.exe /safe) maybe the issue is an add-in.
Please try Alt+A+T. Hope it solves your problem.
I don't have 2010, but I do have 2013 and Ctrl+Shift_L works in 2013. Couple of things I can think of - one, do you have hidden cells? Second, when you hover over the filter button in the ribbon, does it still show Ctrl+Shift+L as the shortcut? Also, when I press that key combination, the ribbon indicates that the spreadsheet is currently filtered, does yours show that after you've pressed the shortcut?
I know the question is pretty old, but I ran into the same problem in the past couple of days and it was very frustrating.
It turned out that I had assigned the same shortcut to a Macro and completely forgot about it. The workbook containing the Macro was always open in the background and it prevented even other workbooks, without the Macro, to use the Filter shortcut.
So if you still have the problem, try checking if any of your open workbooks have macros and if so, check to see if ctrl+shift+L is assigned to any of them.
Hope this helps.
Another possibility... If you have two tabs selected at the bottom of the page it will not let you use that shortcut. You will not even let you use the sort/filter button at the top of the toolbar. You will be able to tell if you have two tabs selected by looking at the bottom of the window at the tabs. Click one of them or off of them to go back to only having one selected.
I didnt check for excel but for sublime yes ..
tried https://www.nextofwindows.com/troubleshoot-control-shift-l-stopped-working-in-sublime.
may be this works for excel too, as amd's radeon is using ctrl+shift+l hot key.
Same issue, turns out radeon software is using the same hotkeys for performance logging. Resolved it via:
Open Radeon Software (usually it's on the hidden icons on the taskbar)
Go to Hotkeys tab and reassign a new hotkey or just delete it
Do you have slicers connected to the table? If so, you need to delete slicers first.
I want to send the file I'm currently editing to a printer, like I did in Notepad++ for example.
I havn't found any hint on a print command. Is it not possible ?
It is not yet available, but I found an issue report for that feature.
It's currently in the backlog, so we can expect it soon.

In the meantime:

Now you can install addon for VS Code - search "PrintCode".
Note that the repository for this extension was last updated in February 2018 with numerous issues outstanding.
I found the PrintCode extension inspiring but unfinished and with a number of flaws. In particular it depends on a specific paper size to wrap and as a result does not respond well if you change paper size or orientation in the print dialog.
It's open source so I looked at the code and didn't like that either. No programmer ever likes another's coding style. So I pinched the idea of using a web-browser as platform driver for HTML printing -- my hat is off to the PrintCode author for that cunning insight -- and wrote my own.
In the process I fixed all the known bugs, added everything on my wishlist and a couple of things suggested by others. The biggest thing was figuring out the CSS required to respect print dialog paper size and orientation. This also sorts out the mysterious disappearing line numbers problem, although I'm not sure why. The next biggest thing was learning to probe for an unused port, a problem that also afflicts PrintCode causing the browser to open showing no content.
Major issues
PrintCode depends on a web service. You can't use it offline.
Many people want to be able to open a file, select a portion and print just the selection.
The print dialog supports changing paper size and orientation. This clashes with the way PrintCode works.
Some people like to run multiple VS Code windows.
When you print a markdown file, you probably don't want it printed like a text file when it can be rendered with fonts and proper headings and bullets etc.
Support is required for remote workspaces.
Because each instance of VS Code needs a different port for its embedded webserver, you can't just use a setting. Dynamic port allocation is necessary.
Remote workspaces weren't even a thing until two years after maintenance ceased on PrintCode.
If you want to survey your options, get onto https://marketplace.visualstudio.com, choose the Visual Studio Code tab and search for printing.
If you just want a link to my version, it's here http://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=pdconsec.vscode-print.
If you like what you see but need something I haven't thought of, the marketplace page has a link to the repo on github. Create an issue and tell me what you need -- or write it yourself and submit a PR.
Now there is an extension available for printing from the VS Code Editor.
It's called VS Code Printing Free.
I've tried it for a couple of days and it works fine.
Poor man's answer: Copy code to Notepad2 or Notepad++ and print from there.
The colour coding will be different though
You can use an Extension of VS Code: PrintCode
Install extension PrintCode
On Mac: command + shift + P
choose command> PrintCode
I have modified the https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=pdconsec.vscode-print. If you change the values that I have marked in the picture in the extension settings a browser tab opens with the you can then print this also works on the Ipad. It works also with the code-server Version inside a Docker Container.
I put the file on github https://github.com/chrishdx/vsc-print

I am trying to start a side-project to learn some MVC coding.
I am having some weird behaviour when I have reopened my MVC project.
The classes I created "Backpacker" and "Booking" are not showing up in the solution explorer. I have tried pressing the "Show all files" button, but this does not help.
As you can see in the screenshots, I have the class file open, and the path is pointing to the current project. Also you can see that my classes are in the same directory as the other classes that are visible in the models folder.
Does anyone have any ideas as to why this is happening? It is hugely frustrating and I feel like maybe I have not configured something correctly?
Thanks in advance
//EDIT//
Darn it - I tried the "Show all files" once more and this time it seemed to "almost" work... see the newest screenshot.
However Visual Studio is still obviously not connecting them to the project correctly.... does anyone know why? or how to fix/prevent this in future?
Cheers.
Alright so this problem was my own fault. I overlooked something I had done without realising what was actually happening.
When I added my new classes through solution explorer, that was all done fine. However When I closed visual studio and had the following prompt:
I clicked "no" because I usually work with XSLT which doesn't require saving the solution for my changes to be kept.
When you add references to new class files in your project, the project needs to be saved or you will lose this data (duhhh).
To fix this issue I did the following:
And then made sure I SAVED THE SOLUTION changes.
Thanks for your help - hopefully this may be of use to other people.
I'm going to add my solution to this problem, but there must be other ways around it.
I'm building an MVC VB.NET based web app. Sometimes I won't even change the (previously working) code, and I'll try debugging using MSVS2010 - then I'll get the old "Build Errors" pop up.
This is annoying...
If anyone has a better solution than mine I'd be interested to know - I've heard about filters and stuff like that, maybe that's the route to go down... but for now, I'll post my very simple solution below.
The solution I discovered is simple, and I'm posting this because a lot of people might go down the same road that I did, and frantically Google reasons why previously working code now has build errors - a question I still don't know the answer to...
However, here's a simple workaround:
CLEAN!!!!
It's real easy, in MSVS2010, go to the "Build" dropdown from the toolbar, then press "Clean Solution".
Not sure why, but for some reason, this seems to work!
I have tried changing the background color of toolbar in notepad++. I am not been successful so far. Frankly speaking I am not so liking the toolbar color and would like to have a dark background to the toolbar. Is there anyway I can do the same? Thanks in advance
Take a look at this question on Superuser. I haven't tested it, but I think it can help.
below there's the hack (as explained in the link):
The themes, as you guessed, can't do this (they only handle what's in
the text editing window). To change the colors you'll have to make
some very simple changes (since it's only changing color values) to
the source code (download from the site or GitHub).
Extract the file Find the elements whose color you'd like to change,
and change them. All colors I've seen are denoted RGB(xx,xx,xx)
Rebuild (see /readmeFirst.txt once you've extracted) I've just glanced
at these files, but I'm definitely going to work at this a little
tomorrow and I don't mind giving you my results once I've solved it.
Anyway, what I've seen at a glance is that you'll want to look in
/PowerEditor/src/ScitillaComponent/DocTabView (I think)
/PowerEditor/src/WinControls/TabBar
/PowerEditor/src/WinControls/ToolBar That's all I noticed that might
be of interest so far, but again, I'll look at it more tomorrow and
get back to you.
Edit: the official makefile will give some errors, because
/PowerEditor/src/Parameters.h references files incorrectly. Here are
the two I fixed so far:
#include "TinyXml/tinyXmlA/tinyxmlA.h" (line 33)
#include "TinyXml/tinyxml.h" (line 37)
Change those lines in Parameters.h to what I've written to deal with
them. Don't worry about the warnings ("extra tokens after #endif") -
they're just comments.
Edit 2: I'm using VS2012, in which the build process results in
numerous errors. I won't post them here unless someone eventually asks
about them, in which case I'm happy to do so. I should have a working
build up soon!
Edit 3: It seems Notepad++'s provided VS project file was created with
an earlier version of Visual Studio, and in updating the files, Visual
Studio 2012 creates many problems, so if you go that route, use
VS2010.
Edit 4: I didn't make it obvious in Edit 3, but I gave up after
realizing just how difficult it was going to be to get around the VS
errors. I imagine the code has changed significantly since I wrote
this answer as well; unfortunately I didn't note the version, but I'm
sure it was the latest available at time of writing this answer,
which, according to "All versions", was probably either 6.4.1 or
6.4.2. However, I hope this is a useful starting point for anyone else who reads (this answer has received consistent attention since
writing).
As far as I see into details of creation of the user interface elements (buttons, toolbars etc.), the answer is that toolbar color cannot be changed until developer explicitly built such a feature into the application. And N++ has no such a feature if you check its settings.
You can achieve changing of toolbar color by standard way: override toolbar painting routine after you grabbed N++ sources. Then compile custom Notepad++.exe which reflects your change.
If you feel toolbar coloring would be useful not only for you, but for number of users, consider registering a feature request for Notepad++ as many people (including me :)) already did for various features of N++.
Go to Settings> Preferences
Then select Enable dark mode.
Then you have the option to pick colors for the dark mode and can even set custom colors
