Is there a way to remove the file name in the top bar? It is right next to the menu bar and I suspect that the file name is the reason why part of the menu bar is hidden (the three dots are there).
Put the following in your settings.json:
"window.title": " "
If you set it as an empty string instead of a space, it will instead display "Visual Studio Code".
Alternatively, you could be fancier and use the unicode "Zero Width Space" character (U+200B)
"window.title": ""
You can't really tell there's a character in the string above because- well- it's a space with zero width :P

I've recently noticed that when typing out long lines of code, they split into multiple lines after this threshold and it bothers me. enter image description here
Not sure if it was a formatting extension that I put on here years ago, but I couldn't seem to locate it in the settings.
The grey line isn't what causes the wrapping. You can apply settings to have the grey line and not have wrapping. They grey line is displayed according to the editor.ruler setting.
In general text editor terminology, this wrapping you are observing is called "soft wrapping" (when an editor wraps long lines in its rendering of the text, but doesn't actually insert line-break characters, which is called "hard wrapping").
By default, soft-wrapping can be toggled by Alt+z (The command palette command is named View: Toggle Word Wrap).
The default setting of soft wrapping for VS Code is configurable by the editor.wordWrap setting. It has several values it can take on:
"bounded": lines wrap at the minimum of viewport width and editor.wordWrapColumn,
"off": Lines will never wrap
"on": Lines will wrap at the viewport width
"wordWrapColumn": Lines will wrap at editor.wordWrapColumn
The word wrap column is configurable by the editor.wordWrapColumn setting. See also the editor.wrappingIndent and wrappingStrategy settings.
This is a setting called rulers. Go into Settings and search "rulers". Then you will be able to edit the settings.json file. Under "editor.rulers" remove all values in the array so that it is empty. That should solve it.
Is it possible to show the character length of your selected text in the status bar? For example, in PyCharm as well as many other editors, it shows the line and column position. Then when you have some text selected, it shows the char count.
However in VSCode, it just shows the line and column position.
But when I select a piece of text, it disappears.
Is this a bug in my installation, or is it something I have to enable?
This should be shown by default:
I notice that your space between "Live Share" and "Spaces: 4" is quite small. Maybe the longer string on a selection does not fit in there. Have you tried expanding the Window or hide some of the status bar elements by right-clicking on it?
vscode:
version - 1.40.2
On a normal text type file, type Hello and hit TAB.
All i want is when i hit tab vscode should register 2/4 spaces (what i have configured in the settings.json for the specific language) not a single space.
HelloTAB
Expected: Hello****|
Actual: Hello*|
Make sure you have unchecked Editor: Detect Indentation. Checking this option will override the Tab Size configuration. E.g. if the opened file has 1 space tab indentation but you have configured a 4 spaces tab indentation - the tab size will be 1 space.
Ctrl + , to open Settings.json
Enter in "spaces" in search
Uncheck Editor: Detect Indentation
Leave Editor: Insert spaces checked if you want to insert actual spaces instead of a tab (i.e. you need to do 4 backspaces if you made a mistake). Or unchecked it if you want to insert actual tabs.
Also, you can check what is the configured tab size for that particular opened file by looking at the bottom right of your editor:
I am working on a worksheet which has long header names. I want to display table compactly using icon images instead of using header labels. Say I have a column named "Population Density" in a table. I would like a population icon to show up instead of full label.
Probably the closest you could come with this is using Unicode Emoji in a column alias.
For measure values, right click the header and click "Edit Alias", then paste the unicode emoji into the text box.
For dimensions, right click the pill and click "Edit in Shelf". Move the cursor to the beginning of the line and press Shift+Enter to add a new line above, then press the up arrow. Type // on the new line, paste the selected unicode emoji, and hit Enter.
In Visio 2013, I have a connector that is in a container that has a gray background color. I successfully changed the background color of the text block by following these steps:
Double-click the connector
Expand the font options by clicking on the icon in the lower-right portion of the 'Home > Font' ribbon area
Click on 'Text Block' tab in the 'Text' dialog
Select 'Solid color' and choose the background color that matches the gray container background color
That works as expected - my text background color is no longer the default white; it now matches the background color of the container.
However, I want to add spacing to the left and right of the text. I tried increasing the margins in the same 'Text Block' tab of the 'Text' dialog mentioned above. This increased the margins but did not extend the background color of the text. A also tried manually adding spaces to the left and right of the text. The leading spaces worked, but the trailing spaces where truncated. Is there any way to add left and right padding to the text (similar to css padding)?
Modifying the text block location/size may give you what you want, combined with text margins.
To modify the text block location, you have to click the text block tool, which is on a dropdown with the text tool (at least in Visio 2003).
I know this is an old question, but I had the same question myself and wasn't able to (quickly) find an answer out there either. I finally hit upon a trick that'll get the result we're looking for:
Instead of spaces, add leading and trailing characters to the longest line in the text box. (I use ".")
Change the color of ONLY those added characters so it matches the text box's background.
The text box's background reaches to the furthest edge of the text within, and we're just using that to get what we want. Since it's just moving the edge indirectly, I consider it a "trick" that we can use instead of a "fix".
Quick list of Cons:
The text box background color has to be solid, or close to it.
The "invisible" text will still exist, so it'll show up in a copy/paste of the text.
Similarly, it may make Searching/CTRL+F for things within the document/file more difficult.
You can use No-Break Space. Insert it from Insert > Symbol.
