There is a shortcut in XCode to make the code editor (or at least, the current focused window panel) full screen*? In Netbeans, this functionality is achieved with shift+esc: the focused panel expands, hiding other panels.
Thanks in advance.
*Not in the sense of "full screen" Mac OS feature, but the editor panel takes all the visible area, hiding other panels (like the Navigation panel, Property panel, etc).
You can create a new Behavior and assign a shortcut to it. At the top menu, select Xcode > Behaviors > Edit Behaviors...:
In the screenshot, I assigned it a shortcut key of Cmd + Esc but you can choose anything you want.
As far as I know there is not one button to do it all.
You can double click on the file and it will open a new editor window with just the text.
These three combinations will close each of the major three panels:
Command + 0 - Hide/show the Navigator
Shift + Command + Y - Hide/Show the Debug area
Alt + Command + 0 - Hide/Show the Utilities
You can change these in XCode -> Preferences -> Key Bindings

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.
In Sublime when cycling through tabs using ctrl-tab it opens and shows the file as I cycle through them. In Atom it shows a pane / list of the recently viewed files. I want to turn this off and just have it cycle through the files and display them as I press ctrl-tab like Sublime. How do I do this?
Go to File > Keymap...
Enter in the following code:
'body':
'ctrl-tab': 'unset!'
'ctrl-tab ^ctrl': 'unset!'
This should disable the pane feature completely.
If you want to cycle through the tabs, you press CTRL+PAGEDOWN for left to right; and CTRL+PAGEUP from right to left.
If you want to change the keybind entirely, as in you want to use CTRL+TAB to cycle through the tabs, you can insert this snippet into the Keymap:
'body':
'ctrl-tab': 'pane:show-next-item'
Move tabs settings (Settings > Packages > Tabs)
and uncheck 'Display MRU Tab Switching List'
Hello My xcode is showing the screen in half and also not showing storyboard interface builder. below is the screenshot
I have tried to reset the xcode settings as well
defaults delete com.apple.dt.Xcode
But it didn't work. Please tell me how can I fix this
These three buttons up here switch your view. Select the left one.
You're actually stuck in the version editor (which looks at your version repository compared with your current code.)
Because storyboard UI can't be viewed with the interface, it shows the underlying xml.
Also the keyboard shortcut is command + enter (credit to farzadshbfn)
Try click on "Show Standard Editor" button:
Main Storyboard > Right click > Open As > interface Builder - Storyboard
Click First button to show your view controller.
I have opened many tabs while working on project. (new feature in Xcode 4).
But for switching from one tab to other tab, the only way I've found to do this is to use the mouse. Is there any way to switch between different tabs using keyboard shortcuts?
Shortcuts are:
CMD + SHIFT + } - Select Next tab
CMD + SHIFT + { - Select Previous tab
The default shortcuts are:
⌘ + SHIFT + { - Select Next Tab
⌘ + SHIFT + } - Select Previous Tab
But I prefer going to XCode -> Preferences -> Key bindings and changing them to:
CTRL + TAB - Select Next Tab
CTRL + SHIFT + TAB - Select Previous Tab
...so they work the same as in Chrome or Safari.
If the shortcuts don't work (because of language, for example), you can define custom shortcut:
XCode -> Preferences -> Key bindings
Make sure that "all" is selected
Define shortcuts for "Select Previous Tab" and "Select Next Tab"
I used cmd+pageup and cmd+pagedown, didn't generate any conflicts.
XCode Windows menu option shows it as ⌘+ } or ⌘+ { but I think it is a bug since ⌘+ {/} is used for increase indent or decrease indent.
The correct sequence is ⌘+ shift + } or {.
I perfer using BetterTouchTool to switch between tabs(include Chrome, Safari, Finder, Xcode, sublimeText and so on).
BetterTouchTool is a free software.
Just set TipTap Left and TipTap Right to cmd+shift+{ and cmd+shift+}.
And than, you can use trackpads with tiptap to switch between taps.
Here is my configuration:
Hope you will like it.
I want the implementing and override gutter icons turned off in the gutter (next to the line numbers). Their rendering is causing my editor window to jump every time they redraw (with each keystroke I type), and it is driving me nuts. I'm using version 8.1.4.
IntelliJ IDEA 2017
Approach 1
File > Settings... > Editor > General > Gutter Icons > uncheck Show gutter icons
Approach 2
Help > Find Action... (Ctrl + Shift + A) > type "Show Gutter" and switch the toggle using Enter or mouse left click.
This issue has been fixed in 9.x versions. You can't disable gutter icons in IDEA.
