In VSCode if I press Ctrl+P, I can type a filename and open it.
Since some recent update, these files open in the same editor, so it isn't possible to open multiple files one after the other.
I remember there being a setting somewhere but I can't find it. What's the name of it? And/or, how do I change this behavior?
As #Mark pointed out, the key word here is "preview".
Under Workbench -> Editor, there is Enable Preview from Quick Open.
Hopefully this helps someone else out who also doesn't know what the feature is called, and who is annoyed about VS Code constantly resetting their config when it feels like it. :-)

I have recently switched to VSCode, and am loving it, except for one specific thing that drives me nuts.
My "goto" command is {Command+P}, the easy search-and-open-file bar. If I type the name of a file into this bar and it does not exist, I want to be able to hit ENTER and have it open a tab editing that file as a new file. This is the behavior I would get in old-school Windows Notepad, or in mvim :e <filename>, but I can't figure out how to do it in VSCode.
Is there a toggle or a plugin I can use to get this behavior straight out of the Go To File dialog?
Answering my own question:
No, there's no way to do this using {Command+P}. This is strictly a file finder and I've yet to see any plugin that changes the behavior.
If you're using the VsCodeVim plugin, an almost-as-good approach is just :e <file> - immediately open a new buffer editing the given file. There's no tab autocomplete this way, but you just have to live with that.
Does VS Code (I currently use v1.8.1) has any shortcut like ctrl+q in eclipse?
It returns your cursor to the place where you stopped writing code(very useful for fast code browsing)
and it is different to alt+left which navigate backward
EDIT: I have found that this extension should do that you're asking. I suggest trying it out.
Original:
Out of the box in VS Code, this command does not exist. The list of default shortcuts can be found here, or you can open the keybindings settings in VS Code (ctrl+k, ctrl+s on Windows) and see which commands are available.
If you'd like to suggest this as a feature, you can open a new issue on GitHub or consider creating an extension.
If I understand correctly, you want a command that will move the cursor to where the last edit in a document was made.
This should be possible using an extension that listens to document change events and records the position of the cursor. Then, when the command is issued, it sets the editors cursor to that saved position.
You can also try "Eclipse Keymap" from Alphabot Security, has a lot of eclipse bindings.
I don't believe there is a built-in way to do this, but you could work around it by using an extension such as https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=alefragnani.Bookmarks .
Is there any way to completely remove this message popup or move it to somewhere?
I already know why this message comes, but I do not want to disturb my activity with annoying info popup.
When it pops up it hides the document tab, so I have to close it every single time. (I do not want to know how to fix this particular error message, this screenshot is just an example.)
It's very annoying and I've searched around for a way to remove it, but the answers keep saying how to fix that particular error and not how to hide the popup itself.
Press ESC.
I agree that this is really annoying. 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.
In the screenshot it shows trying to validate PHP.
In a VS Code window select File > Preferences > User Settings
An editor will open on the left called Default Settings and on the right with a file called settings.json
In the right side editor you can add settings that will override those found in the left-hand-side one.
Between the braces type:
// Whether php validation is enabled or not.
"php.validate.enable": false,
Then save the document.
VS Code will no longer attempt to validate PHP files.
You can override any of the defaults using this method.
You can use the same technique for each Workspace (or project folder) using File > Preferences > Workspace Settings
You can't disable the alert bar in general as VS Code needs to tell you things and doesn't (thankfully) use modal dialogs to communicate.
Go to File > preferences > settings
Then add this to your user settings
"editor.parameterHints": false
You may want to try adding the line
"extensions.ignoreRecommendations": true
to your VS Code settings file (which you can easily reach with the keystroke (CMD + ,) on a Mac OS X or macOS system.)
Solution: User Preferences > change "editor.parameterHints": true to "editor.parameterHints": false
This will at least remove the obstructive boxes that appear above the cursor.
I'm using FlashDevelop 4.6.1.30 in Windows, using it with HaxeFlixel.
The autocomplete suggestions appear when editing code - this is wanted, it is good.
They also appear when editing text files though - this is not wanted, it is not good.
Specifically, if I create a new text file in flash develop (so the file is called "readme.txt" or something), after typing a few words, FD tries to "guess" what I'm typing and pops up the suggestions list. This, of course, makes no sense when trying to type out things that aren't code.
Yes, I've seen this Flashdevelop - Disable autocomplete for txt files and no, it doesn't work - even after a restart.
Here is a screenshot showing it not working...
Can confirm, setting that option doesn't prevent completion in .txt files. Consider opening an issue on the FlashDevelop repository.
Looks like a bug.
For now you can simply disable the BasicCompletion plugin (check Disable and restart FlashDevelop).
I've got a small homework project, and for whatever reason Eclipse has decided to stop highlighting syntax or allowing intellisense or goto definitions or anything in this Main.java file. I've tried rebooting it, and the computer, but had no luck.
The thing that really has me confused is that it's still compiling and running the code correctly (eg, changes I make in Main.java are compiled and run - it's not running old Main.class files), so it's still in the build path ... right?
Any ideas?
Right click on the file in the Package Explorer and choose the Open With menu. You will probably find that Text Editor is selected, choose Java Editor to open the file with the correct editor.
The Open With menu selection is remembered so you should get the Java Editor in future, but equally if you choose the plain text editor that is also remembered.
I suggest finding a way to reset any setting you might have set by accident. Not saying that you did it. But just to make sure, just try it out. If you customized the preferences already, you could make some kind of note of the settings, then change it. If that doesn't work, let me know. Good Luck!
Copy the text somewhere, delete the file, and then add a new class (of the same name) and paste the text back.
