I get the VSCode update dialog a bit too often and do not want to click it away anymore. Is there a way to make sure that it is never displayed anymore?
Press ESC.
VS Code is all about high-speed workflow and not having to interact with anything except your code via keyboard. Everything has key chords, e.g. CTRL-P and CTRL-SHIFT-P. So having to stop what I'm doing, go to the mouse, and dismiss this popup, whenever a background task feels like completing (and not even really then, because the popup actually appears some short time later) just so I can get visual confirmation of which file I'm currently coding in, to refocus my work after being distracted by the same popup, is really awkward. They are in a stupid location and don't even fade away after time like well-behaved toasts.
That said, I think that's really two parts; the distraction, and relatively high workflow cost to dismiss.
It helped me a lot to learn that it can be dismissed quickly and easily with the ESC key. The other half the problem I still haven't solved, but hope that helps you.

I am developing in C#, and when I hold down cmd (macOS) and Click a method, I am taken to it's Definition. I am looking for a way to be able to hold down cmd+shift and click the method, and be taken to the methods Implementation. I have searched and tested for some time without finding anything; I am starting to think it is not possible.
Does anyone know how, or if it even is possible?
It's currently impossible. Mouse clicks are not considered modifiers and cannot be customized right now. There's an open issue for this: https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/3130.
You can still press command+F12 to jump to Implementation (which may be unhandy, since you have to press Fn as well). Besides, some applications or specific mouses allow you to map keys.
"press the restart button to restart Visiual Studio Code and enable the setting."
Now Im going to preface this by saying that this is quite possibly the most annoying thing I have ever experienced in my years computing.
I'm new to VS Code and as such I am knee deep in my settings.json a lot of the time. Especially moreso when Ive just installed a new extension and it comes with loads of parameters, alnd all sorts of goodies - sort of like I did today when I got home from work.
I open settings.json. I add a comment line indicating a new section for my new extension's myriad of settings I half understand, and move any auto-generated config settings from the bottom to the freshly minted position. I start typing, the widget pops up letting me know about all 70+ settings I can fiddle with as much as I please.
I hit tab on the first entry, it goes down. Tab again, "true" goes down.
"A setting has changed that requires a restart to take effect"
OKAY no problem VS code. Quick restart, back to my config.
I start typing the extension again, I get 200ms in or however long it takes for that widgit to appear, and
"A setting has changed that requires a restart to take effect"
I watch the text in my editor contort as the settings are unloaded and reloaded and unloaded again.
I got the first 4 characters of the extension name typed out before this lovely notification reappears.
Now,
when this happens a few times its a little irritating.
BUT THIS IS CONSTANT .Every. Single. Line. I try to add. Each and every setting. Sometimes 2 or 3 times before I actually get the string down, never-mind its value.
I don't know what to do, I am legitimately going to rip my hair out. This is by far easily up there with one of the most frustrating things I have ever been forced to endure. It is relentless.
I dont know what else to do. Ive tried all I can think of.
I just want to learn and use my new extension.
Please for the love of anything help me.
Please.
Is there any way to completely remove this message popup or move it to somewhere?
I already know why this message comes, but I do not want to disturb my activity with annoying info popup.
When it pops up it hides the document tab, so I have to close it every single time. (I do not want to know how to fix this particular error message, this screenshot is just an example.)
It's very annoying and I've searched around for a way to remove it, but the answers keep saying how to fix that particular error and not how to hide the popup itself.
Press ESC.
I agree that this is really annoying. VS Code is all about high-speed workflow and not having to interact with anything except your code via keyboard. Everything has key chords, e.g. CTRL-P and CTRL-SHIFT-P. So having to stop what I'm doing, go to the mouse, and dismiss this popup, whenever a background task feels like completing (and not even really then, because the popup actually appears some short time later) just so I can get visual confirmation of which file I'm currently coding in, to refocus my work after being distracted by the same popup, is really awkward.

In the screenshot it shows trying to validate PHP.
In a VS Code window select File > Preferences > User Settings
An editor will open on the left called Default Settings and on the right with a file called settings.json
In the right side editor you can add settings that will override those found in the left-hand-side one.
Between the braces type:
// Whether php validation is enabled or not.
"php.validate.enable": false,
Then save the document.
VS Code will no longer attempt to validate PHP files.
You can override any of the defaults using this method.
You can use the same technique for each Workspace (or project folder) using File > Preferences > Workspace Settings
You can't disable the alert bar in general as VS Code needs to tell you things and doesn't (thankfully) use modal dialogs to communicate.
Go to File > preferences > settings
Then add this to your user settings
"editor.parameterHints": false
You may want to try adding the line
"extensions.ignoreRecommendations": true
to your VS Code settings file (which you can easily reach with the keystroke (CMD + ,) on a Mac OS X or macOS system.)
Solution: User Preferences > change "editor.parameterHints": true to "editor.parameterHints": false
This will at least remove the obstructive boxes that appear above the cursor.
So, Ive been using Visual Studio code now for several months, and I love it. BUT, there is one thing that is driving me nuts that I'm tired of dealing with.
VSCode has a terrible habit of changing my text when i hit TAB or ENTER at the end of typing. For example, Let's say I'm writing something and I want to tab over a few tabs. So, as an example:
I type "fix", meaning, i hit tab at the end so I can tab over a few columns. When I do this, my line changes to:
"<fix></fix>" (hope this doesnt looks weird, I had to edit to the tags wouldnt be hidden)
So, in order to tab to the right for in-line comments or something, I have to hit SPACE before i hit tab. Lame.
Similar stuff happens when I hit enter immediately after typing something. It changes my text to something else before leaving the line. So, again, I find myself adding an extra space at the end of every line.
Does an extra space hurt me in the long run? No. But my OCD is freaking out over it.
I dont have tab autocomplete turned on, so why is this behaving as such?
I'm using vscode on a Mac. I disabled and uninstalled all extensions... still happens.
So yeah, I've messed with this for days, and only now after I post a question do I figure it out. These two settings took care of my issues:
// When enabled, emmet abbreviations are expanded when pressing TAB.
"emmet.triggerExpansionOnTab": false,
// Controls if suggestions should be accepted 'Enter' - in addition to 'Tab'. Helps to avoid ambiguity between inserting new lines or accepting suggestions.
"editor.acceptSuggestionOnEnter": false
Emmet was the tab issue, and the accept suggestion on enter was the second, even though no suggestion was showing. Hope this helps someone else...
Hey I'm a Cisco guy,
Just started with apatana to design a web page for my small business. My question is about the code assist and the auto complete feature. Apatana is very good at picking up what i'm typing be it an element, selector or even value sometimes. The issue im having is when i begin entering text. The code assist window will pop up, and present a list of possible choices based on what i have entered so far. then i have to either stop what i'm doing and press the down arrow, or grab my mouse and select my choice for assist. Or, i can continue typing out the element (or whatever) to narrow down the list. What I'm hoping is that, there exists a feature like in cisco terminal. where you can press the "tab" key to goto the next branch point of ambigious choices.
Let's say I was looking for the background-color selector. In my ideal world with code assist it would go something like this.
"b" ->[tab]
"back" ->"g"
"backg" ->[tab]
"background" ->"-co"
"background-co" ->[enter]
"background-color:"
I hope this makes sense. Thank you for reading.
Moved to http://jira.appcelerator.org/browse/APSTUD-4251
That feature is not currently available, but it's an interesting idea. I'd suggest filing a feature request at http://jira.appcelerator.org
