I am using Notepadd++ plugin sqlinform for SQL formatting
from
https://www.sqlinform.com/download-free-notepad-plugin/
It works fine but has nasty orange background after formatting
Is this some glitch?
Is there a fix for this or is it punishment for using free version?
#PAS, I had the same issue. I found the fix on SQLinForm's forum. It's a new feature called "Display Change History". Settings -> Preferences -> Margins/Border/Edge -> Checkbox in the center column at the bottom.
Hope this helps!

The issue is now fixed with Release 6.23.2. SQLinForm now respects the change history column from N++. The new Release is available for Download from here: https://www.sqlinform.com/download-free-notepad-plugin/

I have installed NetBeans 15. There is a feature that they have turned on by default that I find very distracting. How do I turn it off? It is the highlighted code in the image below:
This is a non editable extra text and for me just gets in the way.
Thank you in advance!!!
Thanks to a work colleague found the answer. Turn off "Show Inline Hints" below :
I had set the theme to Dark, and changed the editor background/foreground colours, but it did not work (only changed the line number background). So, I searched the web and found the existing question. But the answer was saying the same thing that I already had done.
Is the method changed? Why can't I set the editor background to complete black and the text to complete white?
This worked for me:
1. Launch Eclipse
2. Click on Help
3. Select Eclipse Marketplace
4. Open Popular tab
5. Select and install "Darkest Dark Theme with DevStyle CI 2019.9.16"
6. Wait for it to finish installation
7. Restart Eclipse
At this stage, eclipse should restart with options to tweak background colour to your desired theme
There seems to be a recent Eclipse bug.
There is a possibly duplicate question here which has at least one additional suggested workaround besides the other answer to this question.
For anyone still looking for this known bug in eclipse -> install the plugin that James Kufre mentioned, right know there is another version called:
Darkest Dark Theme with DevStyle 2022.6.13a.
This plugin fixes the bug. You can then basically choose the complete color scheme of eclipse. So not only the editor field, but also the menus and everything!
I am using the Dark theme in Eclipse Oxygen. When I hover over a class to view the Javadoc, the links are in blue and very hard to see
I have tried editing the hyperlink color in Preferences -> General -> Appearance -> Colors and Fonts -> Basic -> Hyperlink text color but that didn't work. Under the Java section in Colors and Fonts there is an entry to edit Javadoc background and Javadoc text color, but I see nothing for Javadoc hyperlink color or something like that. I could change the background color as a workaround but that breaks the dark theme and I'd rather not.
The short answer is you can't because it's system dependent.
Among the many other ongoing dark-theme bugs that need to be fixed, the particular bug you've found has been recently reported here as bug 517393. The target fix for this bug is in Eclipse Photon (4.8) Milestone 2.
I've figured out a workaround for this issue at least for Windows.
On Windows, Eclipse's html renderer follows Internet Explorer's option for changing color of webpage. So, if you do not use Internet Explorer or just do not mind such change of all webpage, let's go!
Please note that some desciption below may not be accurate since I do not use an English version of Windows.
Open IE, click GEAR icon at top right corner - choose Internet Optioin - click Color at the bottom - uncheck Use Windows Color - change the color of Visited and Unvisited, and the rest two to suit your need if you use dark theme in Eclipse. Apply the change.
Then click Accessibility (on the right of Font) - check Omit Color - Apply the change.
It's done.
For those who are like me still stuck with an older Eclipse IDE like 4.7.3 (without the fix of the bug mentioned in the first answer) and are using Windows:
The workaround in the previous answer does not work if you have Microsoft Edge installed instead of Internet Explorer. Reason: Microsoft Edge does not let you change the link color. There are Chrome Extension that you can install but this didn't work for me either.
Another solution could be to switch Windows to "High contrast mode". Someone even managed to change the link color for Eclipse. I accidently found this "temporary" workaround:
Start Eclipse
Activate Windows "High contrast mode"
Eclipse wants to be restarted. Say yes.
Deactivate Windows "High contrast mode"
Again, Eclipse wants to be restarted. Again, say yes.
Now the Javadoc popup looks like in "Light" theme!? So links are very easy to see now.
However, that's not a really comfortable workaround: it needs some time and you have to repeat these steps after every reboot. My "favorite workaround" for now, is to select the link text in the Javadoc popup with the mouse, so that the link text is displayed with a more readable background/foreground color combination.
I am searching for something like this extension for VS Code. Any suggestion?
Finally, we have the code mini-map feature in the February 2017 release (1.10)!
To enable it, open your editor settings and add the following
"editor.minimap.enabled": true
This is a top request in User Voice. Currently not implemented in product nor as an extension.
Additional settings in Minimap (For love of Minimap):
1) to render blocks instead of characters for better visualization on the Minimap:
"editor.minimap.renderCharacters":false
2) highlight slider on the map:
"editor.minimap.showSlider": "always"
Finally! Version 1.10 brings this long missing feature.
Official announcement
No need to edit any settings! It's enabled by default.
You can track an open issue here. They recently launched a beta version of the minimap with the last insider release. Have a look, it looks great! Link to visual studio code
I wonder, if there is an Eclipse plugin for code birdview (preview, visualization, minimap, however it may be called)? I mean, when you see your code in a small preview window and may scroll using this window. Wait, I'll show you...
Like this. (See the column, where the white rectangle is).
Here is "Overview" plugin from a deleted by a mod answer that provides a minimap view.
(I don't see a reason for deletion, it's exactly what OP asked for).
I saw this question again today, and found someone working on such a plugin on github. I have no idea how far progressed this project is, but it may be worth checking out:

Hope this helps!
Minimap is now present in Eclipse starting version 4.9
