I deleted all the menu items from the Window NSMenu except Minimize and Bring All to Front. However, when I run the app, three more menu items get added: Move Window to Left Side of Screen, Move Window to Right Side of Screen and Enter Full Screen. How do I remove these menu items? Has it got something to do with the attribute inspector of my Window (just a guess)?
For reference:

Problem: Detaching the Outline section from Explorer and moving it to the right side.
Tried: right-clicking, changing the settings - cannot find where and how the Outline section be detached from Explorer.
Question: is it possible to detach the Outline Panel from Explorer Panel?
Is there another extension, which the same functionality as Outline, which could be placed on the right side?
Thank you!
This should be supported directly in VSCode 1.64 (Jan. 2022), with the new side panel.
New Side Panel
This milestone, we introduce the Side Panel, a new surface in the workbench to house views from the Side Bar or the bottom Panel appearing opposite the Side Bar.
Unlike the historical ability to move the bottom Panel to the left or the right of the editor, the new Side Panel works in addition to the bottom Panel so you can see more sets of views at once.
To use the Side Panel, you'll need to move some views over to it.
Based on one of our most upvoted feature requests, you might want to move Outline from the Side Bar to Side Panel.
You can do this by dragging and dropping the view into the Side Panel.
If the Side Panel is not open, just like the bottom Panel, dragging a view to the edge of the editor area, will pop it open.
Alternatively, you can use the Move View command for something more keyboard friendly.
Moving Outline View to the Side Panel:
Yes you can, click on the Outline Title Bar and you can move it to any other panel, even the bottom Problems/Terminal panel.
You don't need any special extension for it. Almost all panels can be moved around in VSCode
You cannot have a Floating Window however.
You also Cannot have Two Sidebars
If you want to have the sidebar to the right go to View - Appearance - Move Side Bar Right
As of now, no you cannot have two sidebars, this is the issue tracking that feature.
I can suggest an alternative, you can move the outline to the bottom panel, where the terminal is so that you can have both at the same time but just not as a sidebar.
like this:
or like this but attaching two Bottom Panel tabs together.
Here is a Demo on how to do it
So after a lot of searching, I finally came up with my own solution. Apologies in advance for the poor screenshot quality. I used Microsoft's Steps Recording not realizing the image compression would be so poor.
First, open up a new terminal (Ctrl+Shift+`)
Make sure that the terminal tab is active in the panel. Right click the terminal name on the right-hand side and select "Move into editor area.
"
You can then right-click the now-tabbed Terminal in your editor space and select "Split down."
Your editor should look like the image below. However, we're not done yet! Here's where the magic happens. Open another terminal.
Things will look weird but this is going to work.
Click the "Outline" header in the sidebar and drag it into the bottom terminal panel:
Sidebar > (Outline) > Terminal Panel
Next, right-click on the tab bar of the bottom panel and select "Move Panel Right"
Et voila! You should how have a sidebar on the left, and Outline on the right, and a Terminal on the bottom!
Just updated VSCode to 1.29.0 on macOS 10.12.6 and it looks like this option to move the terminal to the bottom of VSCode (and then back right) is no more. Is that on purpose? Did it move to a specific setting? I was using that feature quite a lot.
Here goes a screenshot:
EDIT:
Can still move by context menu:
EDIT for v1.42 (January 2020 release):
Panel on the left
The panel can now be moved to the left side of the editor with the
setting:
"workbench.panel.defaultLocation": "left"
This removes the command
View: Toggle Panel Position (workbench.action.togglePanelPosition) in
favor of the following new commands:
View: Move Panel Left (workbench.action.positionPanelLeft)
View: Move Panel Right (workbench.action.positionPanelRight)
View: Move Panel To Bottom (workbench.action.positionPanelBottom)
See https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-docs/blob/vnext/release-notes/v1_42.md#panel-on-the-left
[Previous answer - see above for later info:]
See release notes on panel position button.
Panel position button to context menu
In order to preserve horizontal space and reduce clutter, we removed
the toggle Panel position button (Move to Right, Move to Bottom) from
the Panel title area. The action is now available in the Panel title
area context menu and also in View > Appearance > Toggle Panel
Position main menu. Another reason for removing this button was that
we believe users set their layout once and don't normally toggle back
and forth.
There is also this setting to "permanently" change the panel location:
workbench.panel.defaultLocation
But to move it on the fly now you use the context menu.
Apparently people just weren't using it enough to warrant the screen space.
Just Click through the following:
View > Appearance > Move Panel Right
If you don't see the panel at the bottom,
View > Appearance > Toggle Panel Position
Now drag and drop the terminal icon from the sidebar (left or right side) to panel bar (bottom)
I am using GNAT GPS version 6.0.1 in Windows 7. For some unknown reason, the Project View pane that is on the left side of the main window has disappeared when I use the debugger. I can't find any menu or preference options that control whether this pane is visible.
Update--
I should point out that this is the pane with the tabs along the left side rather than along the top. I can show a similar pane with projects listed by splitting the main window, but its tabs are along the top. Also, Its behavior is different form the one with tabs on the left side. Double-clicking on a file name, for example, should open the file in the main window. Using a split window. this opens the file in the window that is showing the projects.
End of Update --
I can select Project -> Project View from the toolbar, and I get a Project View as one tab in the main window (along with the source files that I am working with).
Can someone tell me how to control whether the left-hand pane is visible and how to make sure the Project View has a tab in that pane?
Also, when I look at Window -> Perspective, I see that the Default perspective is selected when I'm not using the debugger and the Debug perspective is selected when I am using the debugger. Switching from the Debug perspective to the Default perspective while I am running the debugger does bring back the left-hand pane, but my debug tab and the Debugger Data window disappear. Can I fix the Debug perspective so the left-hand pane is part of its configuration by deffault?
By the way, in this version, there is no Show View option in the toolbar menus.
This can be opened with /Project/Project View or /Tools/Views/Project.
To put the tabs to the left instead of the top, right click on the tab and select the Tabs Location item. You can also use drag-and-drop (from a tab) to move windows around, in particular to move the Project view to the left of your desktop.
That said, the simplest might be to remove the file $HOME/.gps/perspectives6.xml to restart from the default desktop.
In below screenshot "package explorer" overlays "servers" tab. How can I position it so that it appears adjacent to "Server" tab instead of overlaying it ?
You've "detached" the Package Explorer panel into a separate top-level window. You need to drag its tab back into the main container window and Eclipse will show guidelines as you drag it around to indicate where it will be placed when you release the drag click (drop it).
Dragging the entire tab did not work for me. I needed to hover the mouse pointer of the text for the tab in question and drag it to the new location.
For example hover the pointer over the "JUnit" text within the tab before dragging :
I don't know how I accidentally did this but the methods menu in my Eclipse window is too big and I want to resize it back. The menu I'm talking about is the one that pops up when you type a "." after an object and it brings down a list of methods you can use on it. I must have accidentally dragged the menu to large and now I can't drag it back. Does anyone know the name of this menu? Or better yet, how I can resize it back to normal?
This menu can be re-sized like a classic window by putting the mouse pointer at the bottom right of the menu and dragging the mouse to expand or reduce it.
