I want to move the VS Code Text Search (ctrl f) away from it's cherished top right corner - ideally free floating like in notepad++
Is this possible?
If yes, how?

I am wondering if it's possible to have a "panel"/view on both sides of my editor in eclipse?
For example, package explorer on the left, editor in the middle (that's the default arrangement) and then to add the debug view on the right. I don't want to split the editor horizontally or vertically but rather to have a whole new panel on the right for the debug.
yes, definitely you can,
first , you have to close whichever window is on the right side, except the editor and then drag the console to the right.I hope this is what you were looking for.
I'm new to Eclipse. One of the things I like most about it is the fantastic indexing, and the symbols/function outline at the right. One of the things I like least about it is how small the code area is due to all of the side-bars (one each in Eclipse CDT at the left, right, and bottom makes the code area quite small).
Is there a quick way to toggle between hiding and showing the sidebars?
After some tinkering around I accidentally discovered it! Just double-click on your open file-name tab and it will maximize to full-screen. Double-click again to toggle it back to your normal "perspective". This applies to the left, right, and bottom sidebars too: just double-click on any of their tabs and they will maximize. Do it again to toggle back to normal size.
I am consulting you since I am dealing with something that bothers me about VSCode.
We are currently creating an application which is supposed to run locally so we do have a lot of base64 lines in our code. As you can imagine, these strings are quite large:
This is problematic for me (and my co-workers) since we are interested in this light-weight "Visual Studio"-like editor but can not avoid this line breaking from happening, which makes it very complicated to navigate certain scripts.
Is there an option to horizontally scroll the editor so the strings wont be hacked into window size creating this mess?
So far, I did not find anything that would help with my problem. Does anyone here have a clue what I'm after and where I could find it?
Alt + Shift then use the scroll wheel. This will horizontal scroll for you :)
Not the most efficent but you can slowly pane left and right
Ctrl + ⬅️ Will jump left one word per press
Ctrl + ➡️ Will jump right one word per press
With these commands if you also hold down Shift you will select the whole word.
This is not really scrolling and it's hard to pay attention to what's going on
Home will move the cursor to the start of the line
End will move the cursor to the very end of the line
Wordwrap is there to rescue from horizontal scrolling. Press Alt + z to toggle wordwrap on/off.
To scroll within the Eclipse editor without moving the cursor up and down one can use CTRL+Down or CTRL+Up. But what about left and right?
It is not possible. If you search keys in Eclipse's Preferences, you will find out that you only have Scroll up and Scroll down that you can set hotkeys on.
My recommendation would be changing the maximum line length in the editor.
Make your code shorter. After all, looooong lines of code are not so readable.
Also, resize your editor area. If you feel strangled, remove the Outline, TaskList, and Build view from your right side of Eclipse, and enlarge the editor.
Does anyone know if there is a keystroke in eclipse that will, if you have two editor panes, move the file you're looking at from the editor pane it is on to the other one?
Use Case: I have three files open: two on the left and one on the right. I'm looking at one on the left. I press and it moves the file from the left to the right so now there would be one on the left and two on the right.
