I tried setting it in preferences, disabling word wrap, changing word wrap column, trying alt z, but the line is always there and forces the code to wrap into 1/3 of the available space which makes long code hard to read
I would love to have some space between the line numbers and the first intendation/code in the VS Code editor window:
I just want to indent the code in the editor without actually adding whitespace in the code.
I tried "editor.glyphMargin", but this will only increase the space on the left of the line numbers, not between the line numbers and the code.
I'm also aware of the "Centered Layout" view, but this also decreases the width of e. g. the tabs for the file selection.
Is there a setting I'm missing or do I need a plugin/custom CSS?
You can try this --
"editor.lineDecorationsWidth": 25,
This increases the space on the right side of the numbers. I haven't seen anything that increases the padding on the other side of the gutter nearest your code.
Opinion --
Ideally, there would be a editor.padding.left like there is a editor.padding.top, but I haven't seen this yet.
How can I repeat last vim motion in VScode ?
Just like what repmo.vim does for vim
You can repeat fFtT motions using ; or ,
Is there a way to multiline edit code in matlab, Instead of copy-paste a single line repeatedly, or copy paste from matlab to visual studio editor to take advantage of the visual studio's alt + cursor select?
Just a quick mention that MATLAB officially support multi-line cursor since R2018a, just hold Alt and hold left mouse button (also Alt+Shift in linux) to draw a column selection across multiple lines.
In Vim I can move a split around. For example, if my window was split in two horizontally, with the topmost split split vertically (3 splits in total) I could move the top-right split to the right to become a vertical split taking up the entire vertical space.
Is this kind of rearrangement possible?
Update: I know resizing is possible, I'm looking to move though. I get the feeling this is not supported by Emacs.
You may be interested by C-x + when you have more than 2 windows. It rearranges equally the windows on the frame. It's convenient for example when you do two C-x 2 in a row and want to have the windows to occupy the same space on the frame.
No, not by default. What you have to play with is basically C-x 0, C-x 1, etc. Look in the Emacs Wiki for extensions that may or may not do what you're looking for.
FWIW, if you are running within a GUI, then you can precisely re-arrange window sizes quickly and easily with the mouse. This isn't quite the same thing as you're asking for, but may be a handy alternative in some cases.
You can click on any non-'active' area of the mode line (such as the buffer name) and then drag it up or down.
Dragging side to side is more fiddly. You must click on the exact border between the two mode lines, and then you can drag left/right.
For your specific example, I don't believe that is supported. AFAIK you can only reorganise the window splits within their existing 'parent' window (the upper split in this example). To make the upper-right window fill the vertical space you would either remove the bottom window with C-x 0, or use C-x 1 to remove all other windows, and then re-split them in the desired manner.
(Tangentially, I've often thought a custom library to 'rotate' the window splits would be a nice thing to have.)
I believe that the window resize commands are built in to window.el, from emacswiki the functions you want documented are:
shrink-window-horizontally ; C-x {
enlarge-window-horizontally ; C-x }
enlarge-window ; C-x ^
shrink-window ; not bound on my system
The comments are what they are bound to on my system, but I don't know if I did that myself.
All of them take a prefix argument, the number of lines to enlarge/shrink. The last two default to vertical.
As far as I know you cannot create a new window that runs the length or width of the screenfrom a window already split in that direction. Buffers remain open if you close the windows though so you can remove windows and then split them in the configuration you want. Then change which buffer is displayed in the window you are standing in by pressing C-x left arrow or right arrow.
I should add that this answer is regarding "vanilla" emacs, there is probably a way of doing what the OP asks if you really want to. It's emacs after all.
