Can VSCode display text "newspaper style," with text flowing over into the next column?
Use case: view what would ordinarily be multiple pages, but at once, in sync.

I'm trying to achieve this effect:
|First phrase...............................................Second phrase|
Where the | markers above denote the page margins, and ....... represents a 'horizontal space' (which may or may not use space as the character, a 'dot' as above, or any other character), which effectively expands to take as much space as possible between the two pieces of text.
This is pretty common, e.g., when designing a table of contents manually*, or when trying to achieve the kind of "chapter X...........page Y" effect in headers.
I know there's a specific and easy way to introduce this kind of 'expanding horizontal space', because I've done it in the past. But I just can't find it anymore. I just vaguely remember that the relevant menu allowed you to specify what character you wanted to use in this 'expanding space'. Also, it may or may not have involved the use of tabs.
Any ideas?
* Yes I know about the "Table of Contents" menu option, no I'm not trying to design a table of contents, it was just an example :)
I remembered.
Create a tab stop on the horizontal ruler above the page, right click to convert from a 'left' stop to a 'right' stop, and drag that stop all the way to the right margin.
Then, next time you press 'tab', the tab will automatically push any content to the right of your cursor, all the way to the right margin.
If you optionally also specify a fill character in the 'Tabs' tab of the 'Paragraph' formatting menu, the tab space will be filled with that character.
I have a table cell of fixed large size, and in it is nothing but a Plain Text Content Control, whose default placeholder text "Click here to enter text" takes up only a small portion of that table cell.
The problem is that if the user clicks anywhere in the cell but outside of the control's placeholder text, then starts typing, the entered text will not be part of the control and will not be subject to the control's style or any other control properties.
So - other than adding a lot of dummy characters to the placeholder text, which doesn't seem to be predictable in its word-wrap behavior, is there a way to make the control's placeholder text (or, in general, its click-boundary) fill the entire table cell?
UPDATE actually there were some carriage returns after the control that I was not aware of; after deleting those, clicking anywhere in the cell as long as the x coordinate if the click is greater than or equal to the leftmost x coordinate of the control will edit the control text value as desired. If you click leftward of the control, you will end up editing whatever fixed text exists to the left of the control, i.e. a fixed text label. Still strange. The workaround here was to split cells for all multi line text entry areas, such that the label is on its own cell, and the control is now at the leftmost edge of its cell.
Content controls do not support something like expanding to the surrounding container. They will always use only the space that is required to render their content.
If you want to prevent users from clicking and typing text outside of the control, you could use the following approach:
Put a rich text content control around your table/table row/cell
Put the plain text content control as a nested content control in the table cell (the plain text content control must be non-vanishing for this to work)
Make the outer content control read-only
Now the only thing the user is allowed to edit is the inner plain text content control. The downside of this approach is that your document now contains areas that are locked. This has an impact on usability, first, because, it may not be obvious to the user why certain areas cannot be modified, and second, because a lot of standard actions do no longer work if part of the selection is locked (e.g. Select All > Update ToC).
I'm using Ecto/Elixir with Postgres and I created a field with the binary datatype. Everything is working OK except that now when I make a simple query: Select * from "table name"; the sql shell shows only blank and seems that didn't like it...
What should I do to see these contents?
By default, psql display contents in cells aligned inside a grid. Each column is made wide enough to accodomate the largest value in it, and the smaller contents get blank-padded. When a column is much wider than the size of its containing window, entire pages of contents appear to be blank because of all the padding inside giant column(s) and the wrapping across consecutive lines.
The simplest workaround against that is to turn off alignement, with
\pset format unaligned or the on/off shortcut \a
Sometimes it's also interesting to use horizontal scrolling. Personally I use less as a pager with LESS=-FX as options and occasionally run inside psql:
\setenv LESS -FXS
then when displaying a result larger than the window, it does not wrap horizontally and the left and right cursor keys allow to scroll horizontally.
Also even when not using -S and when horizontal wrapping occurs, it's still possible with less to switch to horizontal scrolling/paging by hitting the right cursor key → or ESC) :
ESC-) or RIGHTARROW
Scroll horizontally right N characters, default half the screen width (see the -#
option). If a number N is specified, it becomes the default for future RIGHTARROW
and LEFTARROW commands. While the text is scrolled, it acts as though the -S option
(chop lines) were in effect.
I use redactor for a textfield.
When I add a list inside the redactor field and underneath I want to commence with a normal paragraph text then its not possible to leave a bullet list.
Not with clicking 'enter' two times.
Not with clicking the li button and not even with highlighting the last li element and choose paragraph text in the toolbar.
There is just no way to move back to paragraph text. The same is with block quotes.
Does anyone experience a similar behavior?
Try to update Redactor because the last change-log fix your problem : http://imperavi.com/redactor/log/
I am trying to add new or second line in tab-strip.
Once the space is exhausted in first line ,I want another line to display tabs.
Can I get a sample code?
Note : Tabs are generated dynamically on click of button.
The sap.m.IconTabBar only supports a single row of IconTabBarFilters and uses horizontal scroll when there is not room to display them all in one line.
In order to achieve your goal you need to define several IconTabBars and determine the number of IconTabBarFilters you want in each row. Once a IconTabBar is "full", add the next IconTabFilter to the next row's IconTabBar (and make it visible).
