Is there a way to disable the function keys shortcuts in VS Code? - visual-studio-code

I just got a new MacBook Pro with the which has a touch bar. Not sure what Apple was thinking, but this is one of the worst things ever.
Is there a way to disable the function keys shortcuts/commands in VS Code? Each time I'm coding I keep touching the touch bar - its annoying.

Maui Soft Keyboard Disable for Entry

I know there is a bug for the soft keyboard hiding and I have read the work arounds, but I just curious if anyone has found a solid solution that allow the keyboard to not appear at all without effect the runtime? Im trying to build a barcode scanner app but the soft keyboard keeps appearing when focusing on the entry or when the scanner is inputting the data. I would like it to work on both android and iOS. =(

Highlighting code with mouse goes wild in Visual Studio Code

When I try to highlight some code in Visual Studio code it goes crazy and moves very fast. E.g. I want to select around one page and end up selecting 10 "pages" worth of code.
How can I make it act normaly when I want to highlight some code?
I used to have the same issue. A weird behavior with mouse selection. This was my solution path.
Check for hardware failures.
Unplug the keyboard dongle. If suddenly the mouse selection goes well. Do this steps.
Check for keys stucked βœ…
Uninstall the keyboard driver from Device Manager βœ…
Change the dongle USB port βœ…
And after all this steps, my cursor comes back to normality... for a while 😐.
Made the keyboard check with keyboard tester
Detect the key with the failure (Fortunately Insert in my case).
Download the app keytweak and disable that key.
This is a workaround if you don´t want to buy a new keyboard. I hope your failing key isn't any vocal 😬. If so... buy a new one.

Unity Build - Keep Window When Maximizing

I've set my "Fullscreen Mode" in Player Settings to "Windowed" (and tried all the other options just in case), and not a single option seems to keep my window bars when I maximize. I've had to work around it and add my own ugly minimize and close buttons when it's maximized just so I can still have those options. What can I do to keep the window, bars, and buttons? Is Unity bugging when making my build or am I misunderstanding how this is supposed to work? I'm using Unity 2018.3.8f1, btw.
This seems to be the MAXIMIZED WINDOW FUNCTIONALITY IS BROKEN issue, which is found in Unity 2018.3.8f1. Solution is to upgrade Unity or try their proposed workaround found here

How to hide the VSCode update dialog

I get the VSCode update dialog a bit too often and do not want to click it away anymore. Is there a way to make sure that it is never displayed anymore?
Press ESC.
VS Code is all about high-speed workflow and not having to interact with anything except your code via keyboard. Everything has key chords, e.g. CTRL-P and CTRL-SHIFT-P. So having to stop what I'm doing, go to the mouse, and dismiss this popup, whenever a background task feels like completing (and not even really then, because the popup actually appears some short time later) just so I can get visual confirmation of which file I'm currently coding in, to refocus my work after being distracted by the same popup, is really awkward. They are in a stupid location and don't even fade away after time like well-behaved toasts.
That said, I think that's really two parts; the distraction, and relatively high workflow cost to dismiss.
It helped me a lot to learn that it can be dismissed quickly and easily with the ESC key. The other half the problem I still haven't solved, but hope that helps you.

Arrow key is not working for changing button selection in netbeans

When I try to delete a netbeans project, I get this dialog
I try to use left arrow key to switch focus from the No to the Yes button but it isn't switching. (This will work perfectly for any other windows application on my system)
Is this a normal behaviour for netbeans IDE or is something wrong with mine?
Just tried it with the latest development build, and I can confirm that the arrow keys do not move the focus.
My guess is that it is a Java/Swing/AWT thing, not necessarily a Netbeans thing. Unfortunately I do not have another Java application I can get to at this very moment, so the previous sentence is conjecture on my part.
On the other hand, TAB/SHIFT-TAB cycles through each of the UI items. A little bit farther around the mountain, but not quite as far as reaching for the mouse.
