I downloaded the latest version (1.75.1) of Visual Studio Code.
Enabled Command Center by setting window.commandCenter option to true.
After that I disabled Quick Open search box by right clicking and unchecking hide quick open option.
Couldn't find any direct method to turn it back on.
Just right click the "go back" or "go forward" buttons and click the entry that says "quick open" in the right click menu that pops up. That will cause the quick open input to be shown again, and if you right click again, you'll see that same entry with a check mark beside it to indicate that it is shown.
In fact, the "hide <X>" entry that appears at the top of the menu is just a shortcut to clicking the entry below it for that specific input of the command center.
The handy thing is that VS Code will prevent you from hiding all three of the "go back", "go foward", and "quick open" inputs of the command center, so you always have some part of the command center visible, and something you can right click on to get that popup menu.

I don't know what I have done but I cannot see the "Open Editors" panel in the Explorer view
I note also that clicking on the three dots (Views and More Actions...) to the right of the word Explorer at the top of the explorer panel the word Folders is greyed out
Can anyone point me to the setting I need to change in order to rectify this situation?
Just in case anyone else has the same problem here is how I resolved my issue. I won't bore you with how I discovered the solution.
Right-click in the activity bar, this will bring up a context menu with the entry for Open Editors listed but not marked with a tick
Activity bar context menu.
Clicking on "Open Editors" in this context menu brings up a new icon in the activity bar that looks like an open book
Open Editor icon
Right-clicking on this new icon reveals another context menu that includes the option to reset the location of the Open Editors panel.
Open Editor context menu
Selecting this option resolves the problem.
How I got into the problem in the first place is still difficult to ascertain. With the activity bar in its default configuration I must have dragged the "Open Editors" header to somewhere on the activity bar, that clearly removes it from the Explorer side bar but how I inadvertently right clicked this new icon and selected "Hide 'Open Editors'" without realising remains a mystery.
Go to view and click on Open View and the on Open Editors.
3 dots on extreme right hand side has an option - keep editors open --> set it to default view. Once done the open editor will be be visible on the left.
This is considering you have default vs code layout...
I am currently using version: 1.68.1
In VS Code, go to Settings and in the search box, type explorer.openEditors.visible. Set the value in the dialogue box to any number greater than 0 and you are good to go. Refer to the image below.
the question and picture is described as following:
maybe i clicked somewhere else, i don't know what happend, the icon of the terminal choose changed, after it changed, i feel bad. is there sombody can help me change the icon to the original one?

By mistake, changed from list to icon (tab), but I managed to change it back. This is how I did:
Click the drop down button next to the "plus icon"
A drop down list with option will appear
Choose "Configure Terminal Settings"
The Settings will open in the Editor Area
Navigate down to the feature "Terminal > Integrated > Tabs: Focus Mode"
Uncheck this feature and it's done
Now, if you just want to change the icon for CMD, then you just need to:
Click the icon (the CMD icon you indicated on the image you sent)
A drop down list with options will appear
Choose the option "Change Icon..."
Near the top of your window, a drop down list will appear
Simply type 'terminal' and a lot of icons will be shown
Choose the icon you want
I must have pressed a wrong combination of keys with my crooked fingers which caused the version control tab to disappear from the sidebar.
Then I found source control tab somewhere in VSCode, dragged it into the sidebar, it shows the changes, however, the icon is completely different and also it doesn't show the number of current changes.
What happened?
In the below screenshot the yellow icon is what I have for SCM now.
Thanks 🤞
I had to use the View: Reset View Locations command to solve this problem in Visual Studio Code version 1.47 (macOS - Catalina).
To do this, just press Cmd+Shift+P (macOS) or Ctrl+Shift+P (Linux/Windows), type workbench.action.resetViewLocations, then press Enter.
Release notes - May 2020 (version 1.46)
As #rioV8 commented - what solved it for me was to right click on the icon and click "Reset Location"
I am not sure what you actually dragged to the activity bar vscode is really modular in this way; hard to say without being there, but you can re-enable SCM button.
Even if you use the short cut to open the source control view (CTRL + SHIFT + G, it will disappear again after you focus out of it (when it's not enabled).
To re-enable it, right-click anywhere on the Activity Bar and select 'Source Control'
From version 1.46 it is now possible to drag and drop panels and views
If a panel/view is not in a spot you want and you want it back in its original place you can Right Click on the panel/view header and choose Reset Location.
Try right clicking on the bar and you should see a menu like the one below
recheck the source control and the icon should appear.
For people who applied the methods above but still could not see the source control panel where you could jump to editted files quickly but only the side bar, here is the way you can fix it:
After you have got the source control panel appeared, right click any available tabs you have inside the panel, such as commits, file history, branches etc. Then make sure you chose the Source Control.
If the "Source Control" panel is not on the side/activity bar or dissapeared for some reason, you check it on the "Explorer" panel. If you don't see it on the Explorer list, you can find it on the top right menu of the explorer panel. You can just check it and then it appears on the Explorer panel list.
Then you can just drag the Source Control panel and drop it on the side/activity bar. It gets back to its original place.
Finally!!!
As of vscode v1.75 you can reset all the view locations from the Layout Control button near the upper right:
If I search something in Visual Studio Code with Ctrl+Shift+F, the result appears in the SEARCH pane.
If I click or push Enter on an item, it will be opened in the editor window.
How can I jump to the next found item if the editor window is active, without using the mouse?
F4 and Shift-F4 will traverse your search results even if an editor window has focus.
If the search pane has focus the arrow keys will tab down to each found entry below the search widget and the file and location will be opened and highlighted as you go up and down. If the folder is closed, the right arrow will open it. And the left arrow will close it again. It is pretty slick actually.
And Ctrl+Shift+F gives focus back to the search pane and you can scroll through your old results (with the arrow keys or F4) even if another term was selected and populates the search input - as long as you don't hit enter - which would perform the new search.
Whenever I open the JavaScript developer console in Google Chrome, it automatically selects a search bar that appears at the top of the window. I don't know how to disable the search bar, or otherwise make sure that it isn't automatically selected when I open it. I'd rather have the actual console preselected instead of the search bar. How can I fix this?
Thank you!
I figured it out; at some point I had enabled the filter by clicking on its button to do it (next to the "Clear Console" button). Just disabled it and it's all good now.
In the below image, the filter button is the second from the left (in between the "Clear Console" button and the "top" dropdown for Chome extensions).
