In Visual Studio Code, I'm trying to get the whole column highlighted where my cursor is. The same way a line is highlighted, I'd like to get the column highlighted as well.
It exists in Atom, as shown below, as an independant package.
I didn't find the same setting or package to do it in VSC. Anyone knows how to achieve that?
I don't think it is possible to get the exact same effect as with Atom, where you highlight a column, but for the same functionality (vertical line where your cursor is), you can install the extension cursoruler.
I can suggest you the following extension: Editor Crosshair
https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=bitlang.vscode-crosshair
It adds horizontal and vertical rulers around the cursor (screenshot below)

For an unknown reason, VS Code is showing resizable lateral bars everytime in the single editor view (see attached picture).
I tried changing different settings, searching on different websites, reseting the settings from the JSON file, and reinstalling VS Code. However, I am unable to find how can I remove the lateral bars. Could you help me figure this out?
Thank you very much.
It looks like you have centered layout turned on, which would explain the bars. You can turn it off with the command View: Toggle Centered Layout (workbench.action.toggleCenteredLayout).
That said, I'm not sure what you mean by "single editor view"; maybe you mean the command View: Single Column Editor Layout (workbench.action.editorLayoutSingle), or, it looks like you're using Jupyter so maybe you mean the setting jupyter.interactiveWindowMode set to single. My best guess is you're accidentally running Toggle Centered Layout instead of Single Column Editor Layout.
All my whitespaces in VS code where code is written are being highlighted and I cant seem to understand where to change these settings.
In settings (open Command Palette CTRL+SHIFT+P and search for settings) menu search for Editor: Render Whitespace it is probably set to all instead of default selection. But i honestly have no idea why it is render with boxes and not dots or arrows, maybe it can be customized by using custom themes.
It was probably because of the theme the source was using from where I copied the source code. Replaced all these spaces with regular whitespace and now it's working fine.
There was a plugin for vim that would blur out everything in the current file except for the function your cursor was on or in the body of. I've googled every combo of query that describes that and looked through git commits of my old vimrcs but can't find it anywhere!
If you would scroll down or up into another function/body it will "reveal" that and blur everything else. It would also center with horizontal margin.
Regardless, is there an edit to zen mode or a plugin that could achieve this? And if not the blur effect, then is there a way to limit the characters visible to a number?
Something like the image halfway down in this article.
I am trying to remove this line from my Netbeans editor view. I have no clue what it's for, and I find it disturbing.
How can I remove it? (Can't find it in color settings)
Here's a picture:
You have to set the right margin setting to 0.
I'm have reinstalled my emacs and now I'm using emacs v24.3.50 with auto-complete v1.4 and popup.el v0.5. Unfortunately the popup "menu" of auto-complete is kinda broken (see attached screenshot).
The different items are not aligned along a commong vertical line [ignore the black overlay, that stems from CEDET and is probably meant to be placed on the right side next to the popup menu; the problem remains when disabling CEDET, so it is not related).
From what I can tell it looks like the extent of this "shift" between lines depends on how much the length of the strings differs. Also, when selecting a different suggestion using the arrow keys the horizontal shift of the lines changes a little (~few pixels) each time the mark is moved one line up/down.
I have uploaded the part of my .emacs.d/init.el that is used for configuring auto-complete here.
Any suggestions on how to fix this?
It appears you are using a proportional font, which breaks the calculation of the left edge of the overlay.
You can try changing the way auto-complete computes the column:
(setq popup-use-optimized-column-computation nil)
You can also change to a fixed width font.
Note that some other completion systems for Emacs can use tooltips instead of overlays, which would avoid this problem.
