I'm very new to VSCode, and the experience has been annoying for one thing: it adds random colors to some blocks of the code. I have not figured out why: there is no block of instructions (like between { and }) or errors, or anything I could make sense of.
I just want them to disappear. How can I achieve this?
You can disable the configuration editing or other extensions cause this issue in VS by :
Open your Extensions.
- On the top right, click the three dots forming a horizontal line.
- Input "#builtin" in the search box.

I would like to change the following VS code behavior but can't find a way to do so:
When the cursor is on some items a box pops up with info about that item. I find this extremely annoying as it often blocks what I'm trying to edit. How to disable the pop up?
I code CSS on a single line, such as:
h1 {something; something; something; } And the next CSS on the next line. No Spaces!
But when I save it VS code automatically reformulates it, putting each something on a new line. This is extremely, extremely annoying! It horribly wastes space, and forces me to scroll down a lot to find something I want to edit. How do I get VS code to stop messing with My Coding Style?
To disable the pop up. Do these necessary changes Disable pop up
To stop the CSS formatting, just see in the extensions if you have downloaded CSS formatter, if so then uninstall it or disable it.
I have a problem with automatic indentation in VS Code. If you pay attention to the gif below, you will see that the editor only moves a tab forward for the first time, but the second time it should automatically detect that a tab moves forward, but this is not the case. Many editors do not have this problem, but it has really become a problem for me. Also, for example, I do not want to press a shortcut key to solve this problem, I expect the editor to handle.
I found theanswer. Just disable trimAutoWhitespace in VS Code settings.
I have a VSCode extension that helps me autocomplete file paths, however many file paths grow long and are truncated in the VSCode intellisense popover window.
How can I set VSCode to either:
have a fixed width that I can set to be large
automatically expand to fit the intellisense options (preferable)
I happen to have written the extension so if needed I can update it if that is required.
One way around this is to press Ctrl + Space (or what ever your "Trigger suggestion" shortcut is) while the suggestion popover is open to show more detail about current selection.
So this (where I can't differentiate between the Trans imported from #lingui/macro and the one from #lingui/react):
Becomes this:
I don't think this is possible, VSCode generally gives extensions very little control over the built-in UI. See also the Restrictions section of the Extensions Capabilities Overview. Technically there is a way to hack around that, but I wouldn't necessarily recommend it.
There are also a number of settings for the suggest widget, but none of them seems to correspond directly to width. The closest you can get would be reducing the font size with "editor.suggestFontSize".
I'm not sure if this is a good place for this question, but I did see a similar question posted here on overflow.
I'm just getting started with Eclipse as an IDE and having difficulty finding a comments toggle. I'd like to completely hide them sometimes. I've seen suggestions that would allow me to collapse entire comment blocks to a single line, but I'd want to hide ALL comments (single lines, blocks, etc) like in visual studio as a comparison. The goal is to gain the screen space to see more actual code simultaneously.
Anyone know of a way, plugin or otherwise?
Thanks!
This might be a bad way of doing it but you could set the syntax highlight for comments to be the same as your background color.
I have Eclipse 3.7.1 classic, with added Android plugin and HTML editor plugin.
If I have a long line of text in the HTML editor and scroll the horizontal scrollbar to where I want to be, when I place the cursor there and start to type, after a short pause it keeps resets the horizontal scrollbar to the far left. It doesn't do it all the time, but it is frequent enough to be annoying.
Why is Eclipse doing this, and how can I stop it?
Not really an answer but I have the same Problem since yesterday. I don't know the cause or any solution but ende up splitting all my lengthy strings using either "\" or "+". That "fixed" the problem and resulted and better readability of the code.
Good Day

In my case this started happening after installing the Coffee Bytes Java Folding extension/plugin, and eventually it just annoyed me so much I turned it off...and the scroll jumping stopped.
It was a shame because I wanted folding of 'Regions' like in .Net and that extension gave me that ability. I've not looked for an alternative yet, but anyway I'm rambling - see if you have this extension enabled under Preferences > Java > Editor > Folding.
When this happens to me, the problem is that I'm not steady enough in my line selection. So I'll briefly be selecting two lines of input. And when the other line of input is shorter or even empty, it resets to the rightmost edge of that line (which if empty is the far left). Being very careful when moving horizontally can work but is difficult to maintain. Perhaps turning down the mouse sensitivity would help.
Searching for "eclipse line wrap" found that Alt Shift Y turns line wrap on and off. There also seems to be a button on the toolbar. See Does Eclipse have line-wrap for more details.
As others have noted, changing so that the lines aren't wider than the window also fixes this. But when you're in a situation where someone else sets the line length, toggling line wrap can be a quick and easy solution to this problem.
This of course assumes that you are having the same problem as me and not something caused by a plugin or other issue.
