multi-cursor functionality in VSCode is not working (Windows 10) - visual-studio-code

I dont use VSCode specifically because I've always had trouble getting the multi-click functionality to work correctly. Microsoft mentions here that there might be an NVIDIA setting that is disabling it which could be the case as I have an NVIDIA GPU. But I still would like to use VSCode.
Does anyone know how to fix this?

Jupyterlab: disabling the “Use kernel from other session” option

I have searched the documentation thoroughly but to no avail. At this point I would like to know if it is already possible to disable this “Use kernel from other session” feature and i’ve missed it? Does anyone know about this by chance?
For a bit of context, I would like several users to be able to work on a jupyterlab session but not be able to use each other’s kernels.
Thanks

visual studio code looks blurry

Folks, this is not a code question but I dont know where else to post this. the website of VS Code linked me here so here goes.
Here are my visual studio code version details
Version: 1.26.1
Commit: 493869ee8e8a846b0855873886fc79d480d342de
Date: 2018-08-16T18:38:57.434Z
Electron: 2.0.5
Chrome: 61.0.3163.100
Node.js: 8.9.3
V8: 6.1.534.41
Architecture: x64
Once I updated to this version, the entire app started looking blurry. It was fine before the update and has been looking fine on this windows 10 machine.
I got other Microsoft Apps - Office Word, Excel and the rest, and they all fine. Visual Studio (regular) looks fine. Its this software and only since the latest update to 1.26.1
Note: There is one other software which always had a blurry appearance, and that is Postman. I assumed that it is a Postman issue so never got around to fixing it or try fixing. adding this here if there is a connection but the question is primarily about Code, and how I could fix the appearance problem.
Update 1 :
So, I opened Postman and that also has stopped being blurry. So, looks like the blame does fall on AMD Radeon rather than MS or Postman developers.
NVIDIA Control Panel
Manage 3D settings
Program Settings
Select VS Code from dropdown or add it if it's not there
Set "Antialiasing - FXAA" to OFF
https://www.reddit.com/r/vscode/comments/9szgkp/visual_studio_code_blurry/
I know this is late but just in case it didn't work for someone, here is another solution:
Right click on VsCode and go to properties.
Copy this command
--disable-gpu --enable-use-zoom-for-dsf
and append it to the target path n the shortcut properties dialog.
Click apply and the reopen VScode.
Here is the article that I am referencing https://medium.com/kasun-kodagoda/fix-text-becomes-blurry-when-vs-code-application-loses-focus-issue-on-windows-d95697b2f927
Try turning Off Anti-Aliasing in your Graphics Settings.Since it Over Renders the Text.
Go into your settings and type "rendering" you should see "Terminal > Integrated: Gpu Acceleration" if you turn if off it should fix the problem.
Go to settings.json and add - "terminal.integrated.gpuAcceleration": "off"
I have a problem every now and then where just the terminal gets blurry. I simply zoom in and zoom out ("⌘=", "⌘-") and it fixes them problem.
For AMD:
Open AMD Radeon Software Panel
Go to Settings > Graphics Tab > Advance Settings > Morphological Anti-Aliasing (x) disable this option.

First of all please accept my apologize for not responding so soon, I
am afraid I can't provide you with a feedback because the issue were
my AMD Radeon Graphics Drivers, after an Update was released the issue
was gone. Thanks for your hard work!
Read this comment on github.
It is possible that there is some kind of an issue with your Graphic card, try updating your Graphic card drivers.
I tried updating my drivers as suggested by Yashu Mittal without any luck. After some tinkering I realized that it is because I had set Anti-Aliasing to something other than "application control" in my graphics card settings.
For those who have a similar issue but in Visual Studio IDE (currently, I am using 2019 edition).
Go to "Tools -> Options -> General", and turn on "Optimize rendering for screens with different pixel densities"

Can't uninstall Debugger for Chrome extension from Visual Studio Code? Perpetual uninstall

I am VERY NEW to learning JavaScript, and I was looking for a simple way to test my basic JavaScript, without using the chrome developer tools inside my Chrome Browser. I thought it might be faster than hoping back and fourth to a browser and typing things in the browser's console.
I thought the extension "Debugger for Chrome" would aid in this, but I don't think it's what I want, or I can't figure out how to use it(very new to this)?
I am trying to uninstall it, and I just get a perpetual 'Uninstalling' icon, but it never actually uninstalls(pic attached below). It's been like that for a half hour in the background. I've tried restarting vscode and my PC, and I can't seem to get it out of my editor.

I even tried to delete vsCode completely, including the registry items I could get at, after reinstall I had the same error. Restarts of PC also didn't help. But for some reason, this morning after starting up my PC, I was able to remove the extension.
So my issue is resolved, not onto figuring out easier ways to debug with vsCode.

Voice coding in Emacs on Mac OS X

I would like to be able to write code by voice recognition and him currently using Aquamacs 2.4 and Dragon Dictate 2 on Mac OS X 10.6.8. Does anybody know if this is possible and if so how? I've seen shorttalk, emacs listen, and voice code but they only work on windows machines with Dragon Naturally Speaking.
Any leads would be much appreciated.
Also I am writing in R via ESS.
Have a look at this presentation by Tavis Rudd : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8SkdfdXWYaI
He runs Dragon Naturally Speaking inside a Windows VM, because the Windows version can be scripted with Python. Then the VM communicates with Emacs on his local machine.
He says in the presentation he will open source his code, but it doesn't seem to be there yet on his Github.
So yes, it's possible, but at this point there is no out of the box solution. If you really want this, prepare to invests weeks or months to get to a properly working setup.
I recently released the coding-by-voice solution I created to solve my own RSI issues. It can be found here: http://www.voicecode.io
I use it mostly for coding in Sublime Text and Xcode, but it works great with emacs or vim as well. The great thing about this solution is that all commands can be chained into "command phrases" so you don't have to pause between every individual command like you do with other voice command solutions.
It has builtin support for all standard variable-name formats (snake case, camel case, etc), has builtin commands for every permutation of keyboard shortcuts (ie command-shift-5, command-option-shift-T, and so on), has cursor movement commands, app switching commands, window switching commands, commands for symbol combos like "=>", "||", ">=", etc, and tons more. Plus it is very easy to add your own custom commands as well.

How to disable auto-suggestion/word-completion in Windows Mobile 6.5 from settings?

I want to disable the auto suggestion from 'settings' or some type of UI that comes with the OS. I'm using Motorola MC9595, OS 6.5 professional.
I know a registry which changes this behaviour but given my scenrio, thats not an option for me. Also I'm finding it hard to disgest that there is no UI for this setting on 6.5, though I was able to change this behaviour in WM 6.(settings/personal/input)
Any help would be highly appreciated
You can use the Windows registry editor (regedit.exe) to change it.
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Sip]
"SuggWords"=dword:00000000
