I recently switched to using Neovim/Spacevim, and it's freakin' awesome! I have been trying to change some settings and install plugins to emulate as close as possible to my previous VSCode development environment.
I'm nearly there, except the only thing missing is one feature I really loved. In any file, wherever my cursor was located, at the top of the status bar in VSCode, it would display the function/method (or variable, object, etc.) name.
Does anyone know if this is possible in Neovim/Spacevim. If my cursor is located within a function named someFunction, how would I get someFunction to be displayed somewhere in the status bar? I am using the standard statusline bar, no plugins for that (though am willing to install one if it does what I need).

My current workflow has me opening upwards of 4 or 5 different VSCode work spaces. It is nearly impossible to quickly keep straight which work space is which. The only indication given is in the title bar of the individual window, which means I'm often clicking through the windows to find the correct one. It doesn't appear to be possible to rearrange the order of the VSCode task bar items within themselves (only in their current ordering with other apps).
Is there a way to rearrange the workspace name and the current file name to make the workspace first and the filename second?
Or is there a way to assign custom icons per workspace?
With the setting window.title you can configure which parts are shown and there order.
Use the Setting GUI to see the possible fields.
${dirty}${rootName}${separator}${activeEditorShort}${separator}${appName}
I would like to change the automatic find that happens when the Explorer Folder View is in focus:
Steps to reproduce (provided you have default bindings):
Open a workspace with files
Focus on the folders view
Start typing anything
This is to find files based on what you type (notice the find query in the top right) and the arrow keys skip to them. I would like to remap this feature to something like Ctrl+F (with a 'when expression', if possible) that way I can use other shortcuts for things like adding a new file. If this can not be remapped, I'm ok with disabling it, provided that's allowed.
I used to have the atom keymap extension that changed this but I removed it so I would be forced to learn all the default shortcuts so when I go into work I wouldn't be phased no matter what device I am on
I was looking through the atom keymap repo and found a comment on the main js file about 'new explorer filtration'. Interesting to see documentation being useful :p Anyways, I noticed they added a context setting so I changed the following user setting:
workbench.list.automaticKeyboardNavigation = false
Controls whether keyboard navigation in lists and trees is automatically triggered simply by typing. If set to false, keyboard navigation is only triggered when executing the list.toggleKeyboardNavigation command, for which you can assign a keyboard shortcut
We need either better setting id naming conventions or better ways to find settings, especially now that the list has grown substantially. I would have never guessed this would be the name of the setting, or list.toggleKeyboardNavigation being a trigger, since you aren't actually navigating
I've just started using Vscode and have a created a WebAPI project. On trying to open any of the default code files (Startup.cs and Program.cs) whatever I type starts to appear in the blue bar as shown below instead of where I have placed the cursor. I have no idea what's going on or what that blue bar is.
I am able to add my own code files and edit these as I would expect.
I'm running Vscode 1.29.1 on Win 10 on a Dell Latitude 12 7275. The vscode extension
Enabled extensions :
That's caused by Vim extension. Uninstall or disable it, otherwise use insert key on your keyboard to put it in insert mode.
I'l leave this here for future readers
Basically, if I split files in tabs in VS Code, I could work with the files on the left hand side but could "read-only" all the files on the right hand side.
When I went to the extensions tabs I noticed that whatever I typed was being typed in the field in the extensions search bar. After deleting that, and clicking back on the "Files" tab, it went back to normal and can basically edit files on the both sides of my split screen.
If cannot type
Check where whatever you type is going (e.g. Extensions > Search bar)
Delete wherever it's being typed, and click back on the "Files tab"
Check if it works
I had to change the parent folders permission...
Try changing the entire folder to:
Read & Write: Allows a user to open the item and change it.

After mild frustration with the difficulty to make top-level "plain old folders" within Eclipse for visual-organization purposes, I discovered that the thing I'm after is called a "working set". Hooray! But they don't seem to be rename-able, by any of the apparent avenues (right-clicking on it or using the Configure Working Sets window).
Is that just the way things are, since no one should be so lazy as to refuse making a new working set with the right name and transferring everything over? Or am I missing something obvious?
I also have a more minor question whose answer I already think I know. Can I tell a specific working set not to change its icon to have the "red X" when one of its children has an error? Nothing in the preferences under Debugging suggests to me the ability to turn off the automatic icon-changing. It's a useful feature, but I have a few simple practice projects with very basic errors, and I don't need the visual reminder to "fix" them, especially if they're in my "Practice" working set, whose icon I'd prefer not to change.
To rename a Working Set, you need to get to the dialogue of selecting a Working Set (click on the white down arrow at the top right of the package explorer > Configure Working Sets..), focus on your Working Set and click the "Edit" button. There, you can change the Working Set's name, as well as what's actually included in the Working Set.
There is no way (that I know of) to change the icon display to avoid showing the errors marker.
I've been iPhone programming for 6 months and come from a PC/Java/Eclipse background and still have a few annoyances with Xcode/iPhone programming I wonder are there any shortcuts to.
Is there any way to prevent multiple windows opening all the time in XCode?
a) When you click on the Errors/Warnings in the bottom right of the status bar build errors are shown in separate window. Any way to get these to show in the main editor?
b) Anyway to get debugger to appear in main editor.
I have a big screen iMac and it's still window hell on Macs.
When you come from Alt-Tab the Mac is a nightmare.
2) Anyway to get a toolbar item on the main editor to:
a) Open Console (I know CMD-thingy-R)
b) Open Break points (you have to open Debugger first then breakpoints)
I know there's keyboard shortcuts but I have only left hand free others on the trackball so any keys on right hand side of keyboard are too far.
I know you can add Finder toolbar scripts (just wondering if anyway to extend Xcode).
Are there utilities to extend Xcode? Scripts/Automator/Any Services I can setup to help.
Can you automate Xcode like you can with Windows/ActiveX/VBA
3) Limit lookups using CMD + double click.
If I double click on a variable to find its definition using CMD + double click it shows every occurrence of all variables with that name. (annoying it you name all you maps mapView)
Anyway to get it to limit to the current class or at least order so current class is first.
4) Find doesn't seem to loop backwards if result all above cursor position
I'm in a class and I hit CMD + F for find.
Find box appears.
I enter some text hit return.
It says I have x matches but only back arrow is highlight in Find
But when I hit < it does nothing.
I need to scroll to the top and redo the search.
If the text is both forwards and backwards then both < > are highlighted and it works.
is this a bug or a 'feature'
Missing Eclipse features
I have been looking at the User Script menu but was wondering how powerful they are?
5) any scripts around to generate source from members such as description: #property #synthesize
if I add a new member, run a script will generate #property/#syntesize and release in dealloc
7) any good sites for scripts?
SCM
Im having problems with SCM and Folders on HD under project Classes directory.
You get a library e.g. JSON. It usually comes as a folder. You copy it to the /Classes for your project. /Classes/JSON
I create a Group for the Library in Xcode under Classes group.
Classes
JSON
I drag the files from the folder into xcode into the JSON Group.
I add them to the SCM and icon changes from ? to A
but if I try and commit them it say folder /JSON is not under SCM.
Can you drag a folder into Xcode so that it AND its files get included in SCM?
Anyway to stop Xcode Help from being on top all the time.
I keep feeling like punching it and telling it to get out of the way! :)
I dont mind it open just not in the way once I've finished.
Yes I know I can Ctrl-W
Sites: the main site I use to learn Obj-C are :
stackoverflow.com
Google code Search - tonnes of full apps on here
http://www.iphonedevsdk.com/forum/iphone-sdk-development/
Apple Developers Forums (anyway to get RSS feed to these or is that blasphemy :) )
Safari - 100s of IT book though prob too many to keep up :)
any others?
Any site that gives simple examples for Obj-C/ UIKit
The docs just show the methods but actual examples (Google code search has helped a lot here)
--> 1):
In Xcode -> Preferences -> General, select "All-In-One" for the Layout.
I was used to have only one window and found this mode much better than the default.
Generating #property and #synthesize code.
