Every time I write a str value in python in VS Code I have to press ESC to avoid writing %%!. I want to just press enter to go to the next line, but I can't because it.
My question is, how can I eliminate it?

In VSCode, when I type C# code like else, then I press Enter to go to the next line and type the { of the following block. But no new line is inserted. Instead, that autocomplete suggestions dropdown is closed and nothing else happens. I wasn't even looking at the screen and didn't care about that completion suggestion thing here. I just wanted to type some code and a part of it was ignored unexpectedly.
How can I stop this? When I press Enter after already fully typing the first suggestion, I want the Enter key to do its job, which is primarily insert a line break.
In Visual Studio there's an option for that but I couldn't find one in VSCode.
I'm developing some C++ code with VSCode+VIM extension. From time to time I need to do this while reading code: say I'm inside a long function and I want to know who called it. The first step to do is to move cursor directly under function's name so that I can invoke some keystrokes to show references.
What I'm current using is to press "[" key twice which will bring me to the opening bracket of the function. Since I have to follow some coding standard, the typical scenario is like this:
ReturnType ClassName::FunctionName(
ParamType1 param1,
ParamType2 param2,
ParamType3 param3)
{ // <-- Cursor here
......
}
Then I need to press "k" several times to move cursor under "ReturnType", depending on how many parameters are there. Next, I still have to press "w" 3 times to eventually move cursor from "ReturnType", to "FunctionName".
As you can see, this is a little painful here. I've tried easy motion approach with VSCode VIM extension, this makes my life a little easier, but I'm looking for a even better one.
Any VIM trick or VSCode extension can do this decently?
Any help will be appreciated, thanks!
To avoid having to press k a variable number of times it's possible to make use of the fact that the ) is right on the line above, and use % to go to the matching (. The complete key sequence is [[b%b.
However the first b will go to the ( if there's nothing between the parentheses. [[ge%b can be used instead.
If there's something between ) and { (such as a const qualifier) [[?)<cr>%b would work (this solution is complex and perhaps only useful in a key binding?)
[[?(<cr>b works too as long as there's no parameter that contains an open parentheses (such as in FunctionName(int (*function_pointer)(int, int)) { ... })
Using the GUI: I assigned a macro to allow me to select the current line my cursor is on. I assigned it to 'ctrl+a', and reassigned 'select all' to 'ctrl+alt+a'. I now want, when I press 'ctrl+a' a second time, to have it highlight the remainder of the paragraph. Currently these commands are available via the following key-press:
Instruction:
1. Home->shift+end --highlights one line
2. Home->shift+end->shift+end -- highlights connected lines
So 1. is assigned to 'ctrl+a', but I'm stuck at this point. How do I assign ctrl+a when hit a second time to highlight the connected lines/paragraph? Details/specifics in layman's terms would be appreciated. Again, I've only been using the gui options, I'm not familiar with the more codey options. Note that it doesn't allow me to use
ctrl+a->shift+end.
I'm not overly familiar with macro and hotkey binding, so I'm unaware if this is a limitation or if there's a workaround, other than writing a program to fix it.
Not a coder, but from what I know of Lua I cameup with:
is_press=false
if btn(ctrl+a) and !is_press then btn(Home->shift+end) is_press=true end
if btn(ctrl+a) and is_press then btn(Home->shift+end->shift+end) is_press=false end
I could assign 2. to ctrl+shift+a, as a separate macro if all else fails.
Short answer, I don't think this is possible with a singe shortcut/macro.
Behind the scenes, Scintilla is doing the selecting. Once you've done the selection, going back to "home" the second time will reset the word wrap extension.
When selecting line in VS Code with the shortcut Ctr+i, the cursor jumps to the line below.
Meaning if i press copy, it actually copies two lines...
Is there a way to force the cursor to stay at the end of the selected line?
editor.action.smartSelect.grow
seems to do what you want with some number of keypresses unfortunately. It is already bound to Shift-Alt-RightArrow but you ca rebind that command to something else less cumbersome.
I have a huge code and now for testing purpose I have to add that whole script into an infinite while loop is there any short way (without pressing space for each row) to add a space for indentation so the whole code is consider part of the one while loop ? Such as for example when we press ctrl +r it comments out the line
Ctrl-I/Cmd-I will automatically indent the file. Other wse you just select multiple row and use Tab/Shift-Tab to move them backwards and forwards.
For indentation is a must, however Matlab as a language does not care so it is not really a must to indent it. Additionally, you can just execute the code from the command line, say that you script or function is called Umar, then from the command line you just type while 1, Umar; end.
You can copy the code into notepad++.
Activate Column mode selection holding alt+shift and use the mouse to select the column of all the text you want to insert a space/tabulation/etc. and just insert it.
Final step is to copy back the code to matlab.
Matlab does not currently support column selection.
MATLAB has the option to select all your code, then press the right click and select smart indent button.
If you like to use shortcuts, just type the combination of Ctrl+A (select all) followed by Ctrl+I (smart indent)
