Way to enable Quick Open search box in Command Center

I downloaded the latest version (1.75.1) of Visual Studio Code.
Enabled Command Center by setting window.commandCenter option to true.
After that I disabled Quick Open search box by right clicking and unchecking hide quick open option.
Couldn't find any direct method to turn it back on.
Just right click the "go back" or "go forward" buttons and click the entry that says "quick open" in the right click menu that pops up. That will cause the quick open input to be shown again, and if you right click again, you'll see that same entry with a check mark beside it to indicate that it is shown.
In fact, the "hide <X>" entry that appears at the top of the menu is just a shortcut to clicking the entry below it for that specific input of the command center.
The handy thing is that VS Code will prevent you from hiding all three of the "go back", "go foward", and "quick open" inputs of the command center, so you always have some part of the command center visible, and something you can right click on to get that popup menu.

VSCode "Open Editors" panel not showing

I don't know what I have done but I cannot see the "Open Editors" panel in the Explorer view
I note also that clicking on the three dots (Views and More Actions...) to the right of the word Explorer at the top of the explorer panel the word Folders is greyed out
Can anyone point me to the setting I need to change in order to rectify this situation?
Just in case anyone else has the same problem here is how I resolved my issue. I won't bore you with how I discovered the solution.
Right-click in the activity bar, this will bring up a context menu with the entry for Open Editors listed but not marked with a tick
Activity bar context menu.
Clicking on "Open Editors" in this context menu brings up a new icon in the activity bar that looks like an open book
Open Editor icon
Right-clicking on this new icon reveals another context menu that includes the option to reset the location of the Open Editors panel.
Open Editor context menu
Selecting this option resolves the problem.
How I got into the problem in the first place is still difficult to ascertain. With the activity bar in its default configuration I must have dragged the "Open Editors" header to somewhere on the activity bar, that clearly removes it from the Explorer side bar but how I inadvertently right clicked this new icon and selected "Hide 'Open Editors'" without realising remains a mystery.
Go to view and click on Open View and the on Open Editors.
3 dots on extreme right hand side has an option - keep editors open --> set it to default view. Once done the open editor will be be visible on the left.
This is considering you have default vs code layout...
I am currently using version: 1.68.1
In VS Code, go to Settings and in the search box, type explorer.openEditors.visible. Set the value in the dialogue box to any number greater than 0 and you are good to go. Refer to the image below.

By mistake, changed from list to icon (tab), but I managed to change it back. This is how I did:
Click the drop down button next to the "plus icon"
A drop down list with option will appear
Choose "Configure Terminal Settings"
The Settings will open in the Editor Area
Navigate down to the feature "Terminal > Integrated > Tabs: Focus Mode"
Uncheck this feature and it's done
Now, if you just want to change the icon for CMD, then you just need to:
Click the icon (the CMD icon you indicated on the image you sent)
A drop down list with options will appear
Choose the option "Change Icon..."
Near the top of your window, a drop down list will appear
Simply type 'terminal' and a lot of icons will be shown
Choose the icon you want

Chrome JavaScript Console autoselecting the search bar?

Whenever I open the JavaScript developer console in Google Chrome, it automatically selects a search bar that appears at the top of the window. I don't know how to disable the search bar, or otherwise make sure that it isn't automatically selected when I open it. I'd rather have the actual console preselected instead of the search bar. How can I fix this?
Thank you!
I figured it out; at some point I had enabled the filter by clicking on its button to do it (next to the "Clear Console" button). Just disabled it and it's all good now.
In the below image, the filter button is the second from the left (in between the "Clear Console" button and the "top" dropdown for Chome extensions).

Hide Eclipse Menu Bar (auto-hide)

I'm trying to hide Eclipse menu bar to save some screen real estate. I found I can do this using perspectives but that would permanently take out the menu from that perspective. The behavior that I want to get is something along of auto-hide, so that the menu remains hidden until I hit ALT+F for example or any other ALT key combo.
Is there's a setting or a plugin that can do this?
Thanks!
This is just a work around. Create two perspectives.
First one named - With Menu.
Second one named - Without Menu.
In the "Without Menu" perspective remove all menu items and Save.
To create the effect of hiding and showing, switch between perspectives by using
Ctrl+F8.
Theres a fast view option- just right click the tab and select Fast View. It'll bring the entire window down to the eclipse taskbar. You can recover the window by just clicking on it's icon.

Have a look here Is there a Macro Recorder for Eclipse? You could set up the macro so respond to ALT+F possibly.
