Is there a way to see vim messages in ideavim? (/show VIM Tool Window) - ideavim

I am using specifically PyCharm, and couldn't find such an option.
The closest mention I have found(in ideavim CHANGES):
0.4.0 from 0.3.2
New Features
A VIM tool window has been added. This is used to show the current
mode (if :set showmode is set) and any messages normally shown on the
last line in VIM. To make this useful you should do the following:
Show VIM tool window
And I don't know how to enable this. I am using the last version of ideavim and pycharm.
Thanks.

IdeaVim Tool Window was removed a long time ago. Vim messages are shown in the lower left corner:

CLIPS: Clear-window in CLIPSDOS.exe and tab to indent in CLIPSIDE

With CLIPS, It's possible some of the following?? (V 6.4 for Windows)
1 - Use a command like (clear-window) in the CLIPSDOS console for clear the console.
2 - Use tabs for indentation in CLIPSIDE. When i press tab, cursor goes to File menu item... how to indent?
How do people learn programming with CLIPS? I'm using a plugin for Visual Studio that helps me with the parenthesis concordance, let me use tabs to indent, and other tricks. But it has some problems, and i'm quite worried about the usability of the CLIPSDOS and CLIPSIDE interfaces to this purpose.
Thanks in advance.
In CLIPSDOS, you can use the command (system cls) to clear the screen. This will simply call out to DOS to execute a cls command.
The IDEs use standard text editing classes for the CLIPS command prompt window. Tabs appear to work correctly on the macOS IDE, but not the Windows or Java Swing IDEs, so that will need to be corrected.
While you can directly enter constructs at the command prompt, it's better to edit them in a file with your preferred text editor and then use the load command from the command prompt to load the contents of that file. The IDE supports a command history so you can use the up/down arrow keys to cycle through prior commands to avoid retyping.

VSCode Vim extension to search for visual mode selected text

In vim I can search for a visually selected string using a number of techniques including what can be found here:
http://vim.wikia.com/wiki/Search_for_visually_selected_text
Is there a way to do the same thing in VSCode with the Vim extension?
Right now, VsCodeVim doesn't support the command in search mode, so that keybinding isn't possible.
If you want to see that in the future, opening an issue at https://github.com/VSCodeVim/Vim/issues would help.
EDIT: https://github.com/bronson/vim-visual-star-search is implemented, so this functionality is now there.

Does VS Code has any shortcut like ctrl+q in eclipse?

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 .

Emacs 24 Ubuntu Menu Panel

just installed Emacs 24 on a ubuntu precise OS. The menu bar in the top panel is missing a number of options (e.g. using Auctex, all the Latex options).
I recall seeing on the web somewhere that it was possible to have the menu on top of the Emacs frame rather than the unity default of the top panel. There is an answer on SO for how to enable the global menubar in ubuntu. Can someone please point me to how to disable it in the global menu until it gets to the point where they play well together.
Thanks
Ubuntu has a hardcoded hack to disable the global menubar for applications matching certain filename patterns. emacs is among those, as is firefox, another popular program that suffers from the same sorts of problems of GTK detached menubars not updating in the usual way that X programs expect them to.
Try running update-alternatives to select emacs24 as your default Emacs, then use emacs to start it, rather than emacs24.
I was using the symlink method mentioned by #Bernhard Kausler, but found I couldn't pin the icon that resulted from staring emacs from the shell in this way without it reverting to using the global menu.
I got a working unity launcher shortcut with this .desktop file:
#!/usr/bin/env xdg-open
[Desktop Entry]
Version=1.0
Type=Application
Terminal=false
Icon[en_NZ]=emacs
Name[en_NZ]=Gnu Emacs 24
Exec=emacs
Name=Gnu Emacs 24
Icon=emacs
StartupWMClass=Emacs24
Now I can have emacs pinned to the launcher and it launches with its own menu bar.
You can just create a symbolic link to the emacs??? command you use to launch emacs, and if the symbolic link's name is exactly 'emacs', it will not use the global menu when launched.
This is a known bug with Emacs dynamic menus where changing major modes adds or removes entries from the menu.
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/appmenu-gtk/+bug/673302
It's unfortunate that the names of the blacklisted apps are hard coded into the appmenu-gtk package, and that there does not seem to be a way to add items without touching the source code.

Text Zoom in putty emacs

I'm currently using Emacs 23.1 on a remote server through putty. I would like to be able to zoom out (so I can view all my code when needed). I've tried several methods and none of them have worked.
Text-scale-decrease and text-scale-increase give no errors but don't change the text size
The zoom-frm plugin tells me that "symbol's function definition is void: query-fontset" when I attempt to use any of its methods (all dependencies listed are installed)
The doremi-frm plugin either gives no errors and does nothing, or complains about face-remap (depending on what function is used)
I'm wondering at this point if zoom is possible within putty, and if so how do I get it to work properly.
P.S. Opening a remote X11 session with the Emacs GUI is not an option.
Thanks.
You need to config putty instead.
Open putty, then right click > Change Settings > Window > Fonts on the left panel to change font size.
What Emacs are you using? You say Emacs 23.1, but that has `query-fontset' (as do also older and more recent Emacs versions, from GNU Emacs 20 to the latest GNU Emacs 24 dev build).
Likewise, GNU Emacs 23.1 has face-remap' and all of its relatives,face-remap-*'.
I can't answer the putty questions, but can you check in some other way whether Emacs at the remote end actually zooms OK using any of the methods you describe? IOW, try to remove putty from the equation, to see what happens.
