Is there a way to attach images to github issues without drag'n'drop, copy-pasting images or jumping through various hoops - just by using a file picker?
I find drag'n'drop very inconvenient, and copy-paste does not work in Firefox (on top of being rather inconvenient as well).
Github help page only mentions drag'n'drop, or copy-paste for Chrome.
The question here on adding images lists additional methods like creating a custom repository or wiki.
All of that is enough of a pain in the ass for me to ask a question here, hoping for a hidden way to use normal file picker.
There is a file picker. Simply click on the Attach files by dragging & dropping, selecting them, or pasting from the clipboard field.
Yes there is, its very simple, but not intuitive.
Consider this example where you want to comment:
Just click the highligted section with the text "Attach files by dragging and dropping, selecting them, ...".
Then a file dialog will open up:

My project contains a LOT of folders, many of which I routinely have open, making for a lengthy explorer view. I find scrolling this view quite frustrating for two reasons:
There is no equivalent of the editor.mouseWheelScrollSensitivity setting for the explorer view. I'm also generally happy with the scroll speed for my mouse in other applications, so don't want to go messing with a system wide setting to compensate for VSC.
The scrollbar is frustratingly difficult to grab at and requires precise mouse placement. The number of times I accidentally grab at the slider and resize the view rather than scroll it is ridiculous.
I've found no useful extension to help in this matter. Has anybody any suggestions? I'll raise an enhancement request in Github if necessary.
Here are 2 shortcuts that can speed up navigation between files:
With Ctrl then Tab you can browse a history of your last viewed files. Great for switching around when working on multiple files.
With Ctrl+P (Go to File... command) you can quickly go to a file by name. You can also search for files inside folders like this: folder/subfolder/file.ext. This is great if you know what you are looking for.

I need help with Xcode 6.
It only happens with the project I'm working with. For the other one, code suggestion works.
What's wrong with my project?
The answer was to delete ~/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/ModuleCache (while Xcode is closed)
I have been researching the same issue on StackOverflow and here are what most threads suggest: delete Derived Data folder files (or maybe just the files relevant to your troublesome project!). It worked for me hence this answer. Details below:
Fix manually by deleting all the files in ~/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData
Note: If Library folder is new to you, follow this CultOfMac article:
Library access on.
Open a Finder window and then navigate to the Home folder. That’s the one represented by the cute little house icon over in the sidebar. If you don’t see it, click on something like the Desktop or Documents folder, and then Command-click on the title bar of the window. You’ll get a drop-down menu that shows the file path of the current folder, which–if you’ve picked a folder from your Home directory–will show the Home folder somewhere in the list. Click on it to go to the Home folder.
Now, once you’re there, hit Command-J to bring up the View Options panel. You’ll see a checkbox to “Show Library Folder” somewhere in that panel, depending on the view your Finder window is in. Simply check it to show your User account’s Library folder. Now you can go in there and mess around to your heart’s content.
Note: Some StackOverflow members suggested pressing 'Escape' key or Command and + keys after the dot (.), others suggested typing a white space (control+space bar). However, your post seems to suggest it's project-specific (works for the other project) so it may prove useful to try different approaches. Hope this helps.
Swift files will NOT have code completion for UI classes (e.g. UIImage, UIDevice) unless there is an "import UIKit" at the top of the file.
I'm facing a wierd problem. My eclipse, has a google signin button which is occupying some of the space which I do not want to happen. Initially it had "Sign-in to Google" text along with it. I've followed some blog post and set accordingly to show just the icon (I don't remember that blog post link).
But now, the icon is getting replicating .. it is being shown 12 times. It is actually creating childs :P
I've gone through all the options present in Customize Perspective menu, none of them had this button listed. Can someone help me in removing that google sign button from my perspective? One possible suspect is- my eclipse crashes when I suspend and wakeup my machine.
You can use the Window > Reset Perspective... menu command to reset the perspective to its default state, which might eliminate that toolbar and buttons. If that fails, I would create a new workspace and import the projects into it using File > Import > Existing Projects into Workspace.
If you want to try to salvage your existing workspace, it's possible to do so my manually editing Eclipse's internal file that stores your Workbench layout, but it's a bit tricky. Here are the steps I've followed to eliminate a similar repeated toolbar item:
Exit Eclipse.
Find the Workbench layout file, it's path is <workbench>\.metadata\.plugins\org.eclipse.e4.workbench\workbench.xmi. Make a backup of this file before you touch it - this is essential because it's easy to corrupt the file if you change the wrong things.
Open the file in your favorite XML-aware editor - most packages of Eclipse include the XML editor that works just fine1, but be aware that if you use Eclipse to edit the file you can't have Eclipse open on the workspace that contains the workbench.xmi you want to edit.
Find the section of <trimBars> nodes in the XML; from there you have to determine which <trimBars> node you need to edit. In your case it looks like a vertical one, probably with a side="Right" attribute.
Under the correct <trimBars> node you'll find multiple <chlidren> nodes, each with an elementId attribute that should help you identify it; you're looking for <children> nodes that are identified as something related to the Google plugin.
Delete the <children> nodes that seem related to the unwanted toolbar buttons. In your case, it appears that there is an entire toolbar that you might want to eliminate, so you might want to delete the entire containing <trimBars> node.
Save the file and start Eclipse on that workspace.
1Some packages of Eclipse include EMF tools that will open it in a special XMI editor that does not provide a view of the source, only a structural tree view. Depending on how you like to work with XML, this might be easier than editing raw XML.
This is not a perspective but a view. You can hover over that bar with the buttons and click Alt+Shift+F1 to check where this View comes from. Then you can either disable/uninstall the contributing feature (Help -> Installation Details) or check where the feature came from.
If it comes from the IDE, you can open a bug for it. If it is contributed from a third party plugin, contact the developers of that plugin.
There is an eclipse bug concerning duplicate view toolbar buttons in Luna that has recently closed as well. Maybe this solves your problem as well.
Edit: Taken from this bug:
root cause is that in Luna 4.4M5 WorkbenchWindowControlContribution.createControl is called twice, the
first time with a null value for
WorkbenchWindowControlContribution.getWorkbenchWindow() while it is
still being created. This is related to what has been reported here
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=427452
second cause is that my createControl(Composite parent) method was calling PlatformUI.getWorkbench().getActiveWorkbenchWindow() instead
of WorkbenchWindowControlContribution.getWorkbenchWindow(). This
resulted in an attempt to create a new Workbench Window, which
recursively calls createControl() again. This has already been
reported here https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=366708
Since a few weeks, Github wikis present a compulsory side bar to the right of wiki pages that take up some space for writing. Example:
I could not find any button nor instructions on the net to remove this sidebar.
Is there a command or instructions to get it removed somewhere?
As of right now there is not a way to remove the sidebar. I would suggest you make a note to the developers of this issue and they may act upon it. Until then we will just have to deal with the stick sidebar.
This isn't a definitive answer, but here are a couple tools that might help.
If you're using Chrome or Firefox, you could use the Stylus add-on. It allows you to restyle any webpage by modifying the CSS. You can write your own user styles, but there's several on userstyles.org for Github. I use Github Wide, which widens the Github interface. That gives me more space for writing.
If that's not enough and you really want to zap the sidebar, a relatively easy way to remove an element from a webpage is to use AdBlock. You can add any element you don't want to see as a custom filter. You might be able to use a combination of that plus your own Stylish user style to tweak the CSS so that the content you want to see fills the now-empty space.
I don't think that there is a way to remove this sidebar. However, when I am editing a wiki page, if the sidebar is on top of the content, I get a horizontal slider.
Very often I work with multiple projects in MATLAB and have a group of files for each project that I access at one time. Having all files of all projects open causes a lot of clutter in the workspace. One can do this for one single set of files by docking which is well known.
Is there a way to tab projects, or have multiple MATLAB editors (for each project) open with multiple tabs in each (with the projects files). The question can be found here too. In the same vein, are there other code editors which can be used to perform the same?
Project1
file 1.m
file 2.m
file 3.m
file 4.m
Project2
file 1.m
file 2.m
file 3.m
file 4.m
Either in the same window, or in different windows.
Unfortunately I don't believe MATLAB can do that kind of project/file management for you, which is why I use Sublime Text 2. It's perfect for that kind of project/file management... and not to mention the awesome shortcuts and quick editing tools to help you code faster.
Check them out: http://www.sublimetext.com/. The one drawback is that it's nagware. It is free to use, provided you can bare the popups to buy a copy of the software every now and then. Once you buy it, the popups go away. Give it a try and see how it goes!
If someone still need a solution for that-
You can just drag a tab of one file to the side, or bottom of the space of the editor, like that:
And the result will be:
Now you can drag in the same way other tabs to the new tabs group, and you have two separate tabs groups (but one Editor window..). You can of course drag the middle edge line to the right-end, and work fully only with the first group, or drag it to the left-end and work fully with the second one.
Note for one drawback here- if the line is in one of the ends, you don't see the tabs status and files names of the hidden group, and if you forget that you opened some file there and try to open it again, you will not see it opened, or any change in the IDE, because the control goes to the already opened tab but you not see it.
