In VS Code, you can use command palette to open dev tools
Is it possible to programmatically open it? I scanned through the API but didn't find it.
One way to find it is open the keyboard shortcuts under preferences
So apparently the command is called workbench.action.toggleDevTools which you can execute as
vscode.commands.executeCommand('workbench.action.toggleDevTools');
On Windows it's File->Preferences->Keyboard Shortcuts
On Mac it's Code->Preferences->Keyboard Shortcuts
Of course you can also press Ctrl-Shift-P/Cmd-Shift-P and type "keyb" and it will show up.

Sorry for the noob question. I am on an Italian keyboard and I would like to change the keyboard shortcut for the integrated terminal to something I can actually use.
When trying to change it I can't actually find the option for which I should change the key bind.
I have the Open New External Terminal option, but not something like Open Internal Terminal Option.
I am using VS Code with the excellent vscodevim extension. When I navigate to a code that has a Quick Action available I can ctrl + . to activate the drop down context menu.
Is there a way to select toggle through the list of available items using the keyboard - other then the arrows keys. As a point of information, within Visual Studio it is possible using tab, this does not work in VS Code.
Why? 'cause I love my MS ARC keyboard but I hate the rocker arrow keys.
This is a known issue for linux users using vscode with advanced shortcuts like vim extension in your case, for some reason quick fix contextual menu is unattached from vscode shortcuts which makes shortcuts not work. A really easy workaround to use with a graphical interface is HotKey.
HotKey > https://github.com/autokey/autokey for Linux and create your own shortcut.
I want to run the select code of python in VScode. Till now, I have to copy the code and paste it in the terminal below to run. The system is mac OS.
So is there any way to run the code directly after I selected the code? For example, like the shortcuts.
Thanks.
There is no default keybindings for command "Run Selected Text in Active Terminal", but you can create one.
Press Ctrl+K, Ctrl+S to open File → Preferences → Keyboard Shortcuts.
Search for workbench.action.terminal.runSelectedText in keybindings.
Press the icon on the left to open a windnow with this message "Press desired key combination..." and make your choice. (I've pressed Ctrl+Alt+R - as this combination was not used yet.)
Press Enter to store your keybinding.
Tested on VSCode 1.30.2 on Windows 10 Pro.
#yanachen, this is now possible in VS Code. All you need to do is:
1. Ensure python is running in the VS Code terminal window
2. Select the text you wish to execute in python
3. Invoke the command 'workbench.action.terminal.runSelectedText' as defined in the following link:
https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/editor/integrated-terminal#_key-bindings
Now it's supported by default shortcut "shift" + "enter".
select the proper code snippet
press "shift" + "enter"
Here is the setting for running selection in "interactive window."
In my VS Code (version 1.56.2), I do the following things: go to Settings, search for interactive window, in the resulting left panel choose Jupyter, and finally check the box next to Jupyter: Send selection to interactive window. That's it. One more step for some users (including me) is to modify the keybinding for running selection to your preference. For example, got to keyboard shortcuts, type run selection, you should see a list of keybindings and you may need to redefine them if conflicts exist.
Some language specific extensions have already an existing keybinding.
On Windows, for the PowerShell extension it is currently F8 to run the selected text.
Install the vscode extension Node.js Exec. then select the block of code you want to run and press f8. worked for me.
I would like to ask if there exists some functionality in eclipse where it's possible to choose all available commands, instead of having to remember all the shortcuts.
Something like the command palette in sublime text 2. Where you by pressing ctrl+shift+p (windows/linux) get an input popup box where all availble commands can be choosen.
Does such a feature exists for eclipse, or should I develop it by myself?
Thanks in advance.
I just bumped into this feature by accident but looking up to see if I figure how to get to it. it looked like it popped up when I started typing after having launched eclipse without focusing on any particular view... more to come as soon as I find out for sure.
EDIT: Apparently when you first launch Eclipse the focus is on the "Quick Action" search box on the top right of the tool bar and that's where you can start typing command names for it to list and let you pick in good Sublime Text style. Not sure how to shortcut into the box other than clicking it, but apparently there's the feature.
EDIT#2: http://www.vogella.com/tutorials/EclipseShortcuts/article.html#shortcuts_overview describes Ctrl+3 as being the shortcut to get there, on the Mac it translates to Cmd+3.
I haven't been able to find anything, so I have started on developing my own plugin.
When running emacs in terminal mode (usually over a remote login) I can see the usual pulldown menus (file, edit, options etc) at the top of the screen, but I have no idea how to operate them.
Does anyone know how to do this?
You may use the function key f10 (menu-bar-open) to open the menu.
One way , install LaCarte and call lacarte-execute-menu-command
