I am generating output in Doxygen with side navigation that has several levels. When I navigate using the left-side navigation pane, it shows what I have selected until I get to the 8th level down - then it collapses the menu and I have no clue where I'm at in the document.
Is there any way to stop the menu from collapsing?

I accidentally removed search icon in Activity Bar and don't know how to add it there again. If I click on Activity Bar, I don't see this option any more.
Update: v1.44 you can now simply drag many of the views, including "Search" from the sidebar to the panel and back. See https://code.visualstudio.com/updates/v1_44#_increased-view-placement-flexibility and https://stackoverflow.com/a/55981465/836330
Update: v1.42 added a context menu option
Move to Panel/Move to Sidebar
to certain typically sidebar views like Search, Outline and custom views. So you wouldn't have to use a setting to move the Search view back to the sidebar. Here is a demo:
Also notice that you no longer right-click in the empty space below the search inputs in the sidebar but on/near the Search header itself to bring up the toggle option.
As part of the v1.42 release the search.location setting mentioned below will be deprecated.
Your setting should migrate automatically, but you will need to use
the new generalized method to move the Search view going forward. You
do not need to enable the experimental preview setting above in order
to move the Search view with the new context menu entry.
So I don't think there is a setting anymore, you just right-click on the header text "Search" whether it is in the Panel or active in the Sidebar to move it. See the demo below.
Right-click on the "Search" header if you have it in the sidebar to "Move to Panel".
If Search is in the panel, right-click on the word Search to "Move to Sidebar".
To enable moving the Output view at this point, you need to enable workbench.view.experimental.allowMovingToNewContainer.
There is a new unbound command workbench.view.search.moveView which you can use to toggle the search position between the panel and sidebar. But note that in my testing it only works a couple of times because it focuses the panel when you move search to the sidebar - I'll file a bug.
Previous Answer::
You may have modified the setting:
"search.location": "sidebar",
which is the default to the alternative
"search.location": "panel",
which would put the search widget into the terminal panel as another tab.
As of vscode v1.35 or so, you can now right-click in the empty space below the search view (i.e., in the sidebar under the open search inputs) and you will get an option to Toggle Search View Position.
This context menu switch of the search view is persistent. It will automatically add this setting to your settings.json:
"search.location": "panel",
The only way at present (but see edit just below) to move the icon back to the activity bar (and thus the search across files functionality to the sidebar) is to change that setting to the sidebar option. Or look for this setting in the settings editor:
Search: Location
Controls whether the search will be shown as a view
in the sidebar or as a panel in the panel area for more horizontal
space.
EDIT: More recently, vscode added the abilty to right-click in the search area when it is in the panel to toggle it back to the sidebar.

I've found shortcuts to show/hide Problems (Cmd+Shift+M) or Output (Cmd+Shift+U), but these require two button presses to hide the bottom pane if it's not currently on those respective tabs.
How can I hide and show the bottom panel with a single button press, regardless of which tab is currently active? Similar functionality as Cmd+B, which hides the left-hand bar no matter whether Explorer, Debug etc. is active.
By default in VSCode Ctrl/Cmd+J shows and hides the Panel, no matter which one you are focused on.
Not a direct answer to your question, but if you're only interested in hiding the bottom panel then you can just hit either of these shortcuts twice: (i.e.
Cmd+Shift+M+M) once to take you to that panel, the second to hide that panel.
ctrl + `
This shortcut is responsible for showing/hiding the bottom panel that contains terminal, debug, output, etc.
I have two tab controls,each tab control has two tabs in it.My first tab in the first tab control has two buttons. When I click the first button,my first tab in the second tab control should be shown and my first tab control should be hidden(which is done by 'GO to Object' navigation command). And same way if I click second button,second tab of the second tab control should be displayed and my first tab control should be hidden(which is also done by 'GO to Object' navigation command).But now when I click any of the buttons,my first tab control does not hide.
Please someone suggest me some solution on this.
Assuming I understand your question, I suspect you may not have named your tab segments correctly. The Go to Object command relies on the object's name, which is defined in the Name property in the Inspector (not the tab segments title, defined in the Tab Control setup).
I am using GNAT GPS version 6.0.1 in Windows 7. For some unknown reason, the Project View pane that is on the left side of the main window has disappeared when I use the debugger. I can't find any menu or preference options that control whether this pane is visible.
Update--
I should point out that this is the pane with the tabs along the left side rather than along the top. I can show a similar pane with projects listed by splitting the main window, but its tabs are along the top. Also, Its behavior is different form the one with tabs on the left side. Double-clicking on a file name, for example, should open the file in the main window. Using a split window. this opens the file in the window that is showing the projects.
End of Update --
I can select Project -> Project View from the toolbar, and I get a Project View as one tab in the main window (along with the source files that I am working with).
Can someone tell me how to control whether the left-hand pane is visible and how to make sure the Project View has a tab in that pane?
Also, when I look at Window -> Perspective, I see that the Default perspective is selected when I'm not using the debugger and the Debug perspective is selected when I am using the debugger. Switching from the Debug perspective to the Default perspective while I am running the debugger does bring back the left-hand pane, but my debug tab and the Debugger Data window disappear. Can I fix the Debug perspective so the left-hand pane is part of its configuration by deffault?
By the way, in this version, there is no Show View option in the toolbar menus.
This can be opened with /Project/Project View or /Tools/Views/Project.
To put the tabs to the left instead of the top, right click on the tab and select the Tabs Location item. You can also use drag-and-drop (from a tab) to move windows around, in particular to move the Project view to the left of your desktop.
That said, the simplest might be to remove the file $HOME/.gps/perspectives6.xml to restart from the default desktop.
Haven't found an option in the IDE to hide it, are there any configuration files that would do it? I never use it, and in my effort to optimize screen space with multiple tab groups, this would save me some pixels. :-P
Here's the bar in question:

I believe you are referring to the Diff Sidebar. To remove this use the menu item located at View > Show Diff Sidebar. This menu item is a toggled menu item so when it is active there is a check beside it.
