Stop Codesandbox from auto-updating the preview on file change - codesandbox

How can I make Codesandbox stop updating the browser preview while I type?
I turned off auto save in VS Code, but still Codesandbox updates the preview pane instantly, all the time, showing long lists of syntax errors while I'm working on the code.

Never mind, I finally discovered the Preferences item on the right. Same icon as Configuration item on the left. That may have caused the confusion...

Click top-left Icon
File > Preferences > CodeSandbox Settings
In the Dialog click the Preview tab (in the left side pane)
Uncheck Preview on edit
It's funny the dialog's name is very inconsistent with the menu item's name which had opened it.

VSCode "Open Editors" panel not showing

I don't know what I have done but I cannot see the "Open Editors" panel in the Explorer view
I note also that clicking on the three dots (Views and More Actions...) to the right of the word Explorer at the top of the explorer panel the word Folders is greyed out
Can anyone point me to the setting I need to change in order to rectify this situation?
Just in case anyone else has the same problem here is how I resolved my issue. I won't bore you with how I discovered the solution.
Right-click in the activity bar, this will bring up a context menu with the entry for Open Editors listed but not marked with a tick
Activity bar context menu.
Clicking on "Open Editors" in this context menu brings up a new icon in the activity bar that looks like an open book
Open Editor icon
Right-clicking on this new icon reveals another context menu that includes the option to reset the location of the Open Editors panel.
Open Editor context menu
Selecting this option resolves the problem.
How I got into the problem in the first place is still difficult to ascertain. With the activity bar in its default configuration I must have dragged the "Open Editors" header to somewhere on the activity bar, that clearly removes it from the Explorer side bar but how I inadvertently right clicked this new icon and selected "Hide 'Open Editors'" without realising remains a mystery.
Go to view and click on Open View and the on Open Editors.
3 dots on extreme right hand side has an option - keep editors open --> set it to default view. Once done the open editor will be be visible on the left.
This is considering you have default vs code layout...
I am currently using version: 1.68.1
In VS Code, go to Settings and in the search box, type explorer.openEditors.visible. Set the value in the dialogue box to any number greater than 0 and you are good to go. Refer to the image below.

By mistake, changed from list to icon (tab), but I managed to change it back. This is how I did:
Click the drop down button next to the "plus icon"
A drop down list with option will appear
Choose "Configure Terminal Settings"
The Settings will open in the Editor Area
Navigate down to the feature "Terminal > Integrated > Tabs: Focus Mode"
Uncheck this feature and it's done
Now, if you just want to change the icon for CMD, then you just need to:
Click the icon (the CMD icon you indicated on the image you sent)
A drop down list with options will appear
Choose the option "Change Icon..."
Near the top of your window, a drop down list will appear
Simply type 'terminal' and a lot of icons will be shown
Choose the icon you want

How to Fix Missing Breakpoints View in Visual Studio Code

For a couple weeks now, the Breakpoints View pane has gone missing and I cannot find a way to bring it back. Even the views menu in the left pane doesn't list it.
Any ideas how to restore this panel?
Language being debugged: TypeScript
VS Code Version: 1.48.0-insider
No Breakpoints options available when right-clicking top pop-up, or any sub panel pop-up:
PROBLEM & SOLUTION
The Breakpoints View was moved to its own Sidebar Icon which was not visible until a debugging session started. A bug has been filed: GitHub Microsoft/vscode Issue #102799.
STEPS
CMD+SHIFT+P to bring up the Show Command Palette
Enter and run "Focus on Breakpoints View"
Right-Click Breakpoints header, and choose "Reset Location"
&nbsp
Thanks to #rioV8, #Arun205, and other forums/resources for the help working through this!!
&nbsp
Right click on 'Watch' tab and click on Breakpoints
Try Right Click on any View Header and see if the Breakpoint View is Hidden
If it is moved, find it in any Panel or other sidebar and Right Click View Header and choose Reset Location

eclipse now shows "add breackpoint" when hovering over an error

I am using eclipse neon to program in Java.
Im talking about the veritical bar on the left where it shows the little error icon. Normally I would go hover over it and it would show a description and I could click to see automatic resolutions.
Then I decided I would be adventurous and play with some editor settings...
Now somehow when I hover over the error icon what pops up is a small box with 2 icons. a breakpoint icon and an error icon. the breakpoint icon is always right under my mouse. so if I just click again it adds a breakpoint. So now I have to go hover over the problem icon, then that thing pops up then I need to move over to the right just a tad to get back over the problem description before I can see the popup for that and/or click it to see the auto-resolutions.
screenshot
Anyone have any idea what setting I messed with that caused this so I can undo it?
Disable "Expand vertical ruler icons upon hovering" option in Windows > Preferences > Java > Editors > Hovers
Note that the change will take effect only after closing and reopening the editor.
See this bug for more details.

Eclipse Outline view is hiding code

I'm using the Kepler CDT release (4.3.1) of Eclipse. When I click on anything in the Outline view, the corresponding editor view is reduced to showing just that item. If I click on a variable, I get a single line with just that variable. The Edit->Expand Selection options are all dimmed out. Hitting Shift-Alt-Up Arrow just moves me up to the previous item in the outline view. If I change editor tabs and come back then the Expand Selection options enable and I can manually hit Shift-Alt-Up Arrow a number of times to make the entire file visible again but clicking on anything in the outline view again will just reduce the view. Is there some new setting in Kepler that will make outline stop doing this?
Turns out the feature for Show Source of Selected Element Only was turned on. In Kepler the toolbar button for this is not visible. Even searching under quick access doesn't turn it up so it's somewhat of a puzzle how it could have been turned on. I actually thought maybe it had been removed from Kepler.
In the Customize Perspective dialog under the Tool Bar Visibility tab. In the Tool Bar Structure section I opened the area for Editor Presentation. I noticed there was actually a check next to the box for Show Source of Selected Element Only. However, it wasn't visible in the toolbar (a bug I've seen before in Eclipse) so I unchecked it and checked it. Then I exited the dialog. Now the button showed up on the toolbar. I then toggled the feature on and then off. Now clicking in the outline view works correctly.just moves to the correct spot.
