Is there a way to access the mouse over popup in VSCode via Keyboard and navigate in it?
I often use the mouse over to get the namespace of function or variable ...
So I want to place the cursor on "bar", popup the hover (Show Hover Ctrl+k Ctrl+i), focus it, mark some text (eg. namespace::functioname), copy and close the hover.
namespace foo{
void bar();
}
First problem, the hover doesn't get the focus and I don't know how to focus it. But there is another feature "Show defintion preview hover", which actually gets focused. So far so good. But I still cannot mark or copy text inside the hover via keyboard.
Show hover (not focused):
Show definition preview hover (focused):
But I still cannot mark or copy text inside the hover via keyboard.
That should change with VSCode 1.68 (May 2022):
Lock hovers to more easily mouse over them
Some custom hovers cannot be moused over and others are tricky to mouse over without hiding it because of other things in the way (eg. like a scroll bar).
Holding alt while a hover is active will now "lock" it, giving it a wider border and preventing moving the mouse outside of the hover widget or whatever triggered it from hiding it.
This is primarily an accessibility feature to make hovers play nice with screen magnifiers but it is also useful for copying text from certain hovers.
Note that this feature only applies outside of the editor because editor hovers can always be moused over unless specified otherwise via a setting.
This will be helpful for other views (debug, terminal, ...) where variables with their popup can appear as well.
In the editor, see microsoft/vscode issue 63296
ctrl+K ctrl+I to show the hover and focus it
ctrl+A to select all the hover content
ctrl+C to copy to clipboard
It does indeed work for me (on windows) for the first two steps, however ctrl+C does not copy the text selected with ctrl+A.
It seems like there are two different selections possible in the hover:
ctrl+Aselects everything with a dark blue.
When selecting some text in the hover with the mouse (i.e. press the left mouse button while near/over a char, move mouse, release left mouse button) the selected text is shown in a lighter and brighter blue.
The two selections can coexist.
ctrl+C always copies the text selected with the mouse, or nothing if there's no such selection, no matter whether a ctrl+A selection also has been done.
If there's only a ctrl+A selection, ctrl+C doesn't copy anything.
The two selections can be selected in any order. The order doesn't change the behavior.
Think I found out what you were after.
The shortcut is: Ctrl+K Ctrl+I

I'm new to AutoHotkey.
I have a specfic need to be achieved in Powerpoint using autohotkey.
Let's say in Powerpoint, I want to change font color.
The normal steps are:
Select the text
Click "Home" > Click "Font Color" > The Font palette gets expanded and I select the color.
Now, I want to make this process quicker as below
Select the text
Press FC (as shortcut from keyboard) and autohotkey should press the following keys Alt+H+FC (Very importantly, if I don't press C immediately after F, then it should get typed as replaced text of highlighted text)
So, my code goes as like this
#SingleInstance, Force
#IfWinActive ahk_exe POWERPNT.EXE ; check whether ppt is the active window
f::
#if keypress c
send, !HFC
#if
return
But, this doesn't work.
I don't where am I making mistake. Could someone help, please
I know this is an autohotkey question, but the quick access toolbar (QAT) in PowerPoint may solve your problem out of the box.
The QAT assigns Alt+1 to the first feature, alt+2 to the second, etc. By customizing the order of buttons on the QAT, you can access features you use often with one key combination.
Instructions
First add the font color button to the QAT: right click the 'font color' button, and click 'add to quick access toolbar'
Change the order of features in the QAT: right click on the QAT - customize quick access toolbar). Use the arrow buttons on the right side to change the ordering.
This is the order I use myself:
This allows me to very quickly align objects on a slide, change background color, outline, and text color, all initiated from the keyboard.
I can't find out how to disable this feature. VSCode will scroll to wherever I click in the text editor. It ends up scrolling the text as I press down to click and text gets highlighted until I release the click. This is very annoying. I have to click very very lightly in order to prevent this from happening. How do I disable this scroll-to-click feature.
I found the feature that allows the behavior to happen. It is called "Cursor Surrounding Lines".
Editor: Cursor Surrounding Lines
Controls the minimal number of visible leading and trailing lines surrounding the cursor. Known as 'scrollOff' or 'scrollOffset' in some other editors.
The value was set to 200, so I just set it to 0. Fixed the issue.
I often double-click to select followed by ctrl+c to copy. I am finding in vscode that ctrl press with the mouse over a word can perform an action. In some cases it selects the whole line, and in others it jumps to the definition of what is underneath. Is there a way to turn this off?
Note that if you move the mouse cursor off the word then it appears the action is not performed.
You could click on Visual Studio code->Preferences->KeyBoard Shortcuts. Keyboard Shortcuts page opens up. You could change any of the keyboard short cuts, by click on edit icon on the left as shown below
You can change the behavior of these features or disable them altogether by going to Tools > Options > Text Editor.

This SO post documents a keyboard shortcut to activate the hover text documentation pop-up in VS Code. However, sometimes the documentation is long enough that you need to be able to scroll through it. Is there a key combination to scroll through the hover text pop-up without using the mouse? (Of course if you activate the hover text using your mouse, then you can scroll through using the scroll wheel on your mouse.)
How can I enable clicking on this bubble (or perhaps the name) to instantly jump to the underlined place in code? By pressing f2 and clicking on a small box, the same effect can be achieved, but I remember being able to work far faster doing this on one of my old projects.
Hold Ctrl and hover over the method name. You can then choose to jump to the declaration or super implementation.
