Pressing tab each time you want to automcomplete seems time-consuming. Ideally, you just type in the first couple of letters and you get a drop down list without pressing tab.
In Jupyter notebook, there were some extensions that you could install to get this functionality. https://github.com/ipython-contrib/jupyter_contrib_nbextensions
Is it possible to get this on JupyterLab?
Thanks
The jupyterlab-lsp extension offers this as an opt-in feature. After installing the extension in JupyterLab 3.0+ (which is two part: jupyterlab-lsp and the language server of your choice - see the linked instructions) you need to enable it in Advanced Settings Editor → Code Completion → continuousHinting:

How to enable vscode hover function? When I go to the function I want to see their references links and navigate to them. In my Sublime text It is working properly but I want to make proper in my VS code also.
I fixed this with going to extensions, typing #builtin, scrolling to my language extension in features list (Typescript and Javascript item) and enabling my language extension:
For some reasons my extension was disabled in the list (even though the docs say it's enabled by default).

The feature you are referencing is known as IntelliSense in VSCode, which is enabled by default on versions 1.3 and above.
The languages supported out of the box are JavaScript and TypeScript.
So, if you need code-intellisense for other languages you'll have to install extensions for the specific languages.
See image below for intellisense support
I recently had the same issue for like a week and I was going crazy, then I discovered that there is a setting for it, which I don't remember disabling but anyways it fixed the problem.
Go to your VSCode settings (settings.json) and set editor.hover.enabled to true.
{
"editor.hover.enabled": true
}
Otherwise, if you like UI setting stuff, search for "hover enabled" in your settings and make sure is enabled.
Somebody from stackoverflow asked me to check if I have the latest js-beautify in my vscode. But I don't know how to check it. Can you please help?
I read from one of the threads in VS Code that it uses js-beautify as the formatter (it's the one doing the 'formatonsave' etc.). Please correct me if I'm wrong.
If it uses js-beautify, how do I know what version it is in? and does it auto-update to the latest version whenever there's a new one?
Thank you.
I already tried going through documentations and I also checked the preferences thoroughly, but I can't seem to find how to (manually) check for updates about plugins, especially the built-in ones like js-beautify.
The default setting for extensions.autoUpdate in VS Code enables auto-updating for all extensions. You can confirm this in your user settings or simply bring up the Command Palette (CTRL+SHIFT+P) and type 'auto update' to enable or disable it.
In the Command Palette you can also update extension mannually.
The current version of every installed extension is listed right next to its name in the extension panel or under the Changelog panel.
So I have a great many extensions, and on any given project, I find myself using maybe a third of all of them (If I'm working on a Python project, I don't really need JavaScript related extensions now do I?). The problem is that right now VS Code loads and enables every single extension installed at the start of each new project. I find it a pain to then have to manually go and disable all the extensions I won't be needing for the project.
Is there a way to setup VS Code to only enable certain extensions when opening a new folder / workspace? I couldn't find anything in the docs on that subject and when looking at the extension section of the preferences I couldn't find such a functionality.
As of Feb 2023, it is now possible to create different Profiles in VS Code.
A Profile can include extensions, settings, keyboard shortcuts, UI state, tasks, and user snippets. You can customize VS Code for different development scenarios like data science, documentation writing, or for multiple programming languages like Python or Java. If you have different VS Code setups based on workflow such as "Work" or "Demo", you can also save those as different profiles. You can open multiple workspaces (folders) with different profiles applied simultaneously.
The following image demonstrates a folder opened with a Work profile that is customized for a work setup.
To my knowledge, the best you can do is use the Enable, Enable (Workspace) and Disable, Disable (Workspace) options.
Here is how ended up doing this:
Open a new workspace / folder.
Disable all extensions using Disable.
Enable all extension that you want to have enabled in every new project with Enable.
Enable extensions that you only want to use in this particular workspace / folder with Enable (Workspace)
From then on, when you open a new workspace, only the "default" extensions should be enabled. If ever you want to disable one of these "default" extensions in a particular workspace but still want it to be a "default" extension, make sure to use the Disable (Workspace) option.
Is there any way to configure my settings so that every time I reopen VSCode editor I do not lose search preferences (ie. Match Case, Use Regular Expression etc). For example in my last search if I activate Match Case how do I make this setting available even after reloading VSCode?
I was looking VSCode customization section but not found any clue on this.
I'm on the VSCode team. As of VSCode 1.8 this is not supported, but we have a feature request tracking this work: https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode/issues/11574
I'd like to script FlexBuilder so that I can run debug or profile without having to switch to FlexBuilder and manually clicking the button (or using the key combo). Is this possible without writing an extension?
To be more specific, this is exactly what I want to do: I want to create a TextMate command that talks to FlexBuilder and makes it run the debug target for the currently selected project. TextMate already has support for interacting with Xcode in this way, and it would be great to be able to do the same with FlexBuilder.
When compiling I use Ant and have full control over that from TextMate, what I want is to be able to launch the debugger and the profiler. The command line debugger is unusable and there is no other profiler available than the one in FlexBuilder.
Since FlexBuilder essentially is an extended version of Eclipse, any tools/scripts for doing the same in Eclipse should work for FlexBuilder aswell. I couldn't find any tools like this googling it, have you considered doing away with FlexBuilder completely, there are plenty of guides for using the mxmlc (or fcsh) compilers directly from your editor.
I do not know if there is a plugin like this for Eclipse however if not you can write one as it should be easy.
If the specific command that you want to call shows up in Windows/Preferences - General/Keys, you can create a plugin that takes commands from TextMate (I do not know what protocol TextMate uses, socket or something else) and executed the specific action that is associated with the command that also appears in preferences.
