The MATLAB GUI normally (for me) has 4 tabs in the upper left - Home, Plots, Apps and (I think) Editor. However the editor tab has disappeared and I cannot find documentation how to turn it back on. I tried the Layout->Default but that just arranges all the visible windows and doesn't re-enable to missing editor.
Does anyone know how to turn this back on?
Type edit in the command window.
Unfortunately you are right, there is no 'Editor' option in the Layout panel of Matlab's interface, and for obscure reasons it's not present in the default layout.
OK, I've checked Ratbert's answer as he got here before me but Mathworks tells me it disappears any time you're not actually editing any code. If that happens their answer was to just click on the New Script button. Doing that worked for me. Typing edit in the command window is (I think) doing the same thing.
Thanks!
For anyone that finds this thread at a later date I eventually debugged the root cause of this problem as a mouse that was failing. When attempting to close the open variables part of the GUI, when clicking the X in the upper left, the mouse was generating two clicks instead of one. The first closed the variables GUI, the second closed the editing GUI. Purchasing a new mouse resulted in no longer seeing the problem at all.
in matlab command window, go on top right triagle and click, a drop down list will appear, select undock editor

Earlier The Panel of vscode used to close when I killed the terminal. But after I reset my pc and reinstall vscode, this is not happening. I after killing all the terminals I have to click on the "Close Panel" Button to close it.
How can I close the panel automatically on killing the last terminal?
Thanks for help in advance.
So the lower panel (or right/left panel if you moved it) should always automatically close if the terminal-view has had all of its terminals closed.
Now, with the above said, their is one exception, which is a common exception: When you show there panel with a view — i.e. the problems view, output-logger, etc... — with the terminal-view, the behavior of the panel changes. In the context I just described, the panel will not automatically close.
To solve the issue, remove all other views that share the panel with the terminal view. Then you should find that you get the expected behavior.
FYI, this has worked this way for a long time, and a while back (2+ years ago) there was a somewhat supported feature request to make the closing behavior of the panel more configurable — e.g. like adding settings that close the panel when the terminal-view has no terminals open, even if it is in a shared panel — however, I checked all settings & release notes and GitHub before answering this, and it appears that the panel & terminal view, in the context of this question, still behave the way that they always have since the first newer release of the non-beta VS Code.
I have eclipse Juno. I'm not sure how, but my editor in eclipse is now "invisible". By invisible i mean, the editor pane is not in the visible window. I'm not a novice in eclipse and i know you can minimize the editors or maximize a different panel - but this isn't the case. There isn't even a minimize/maximize button on this empty space where the editor should be.
However, the title bar shows the current file that is opened (but in the invisible editor and hence invisible). and my outline sidebar shows the file's outline.
I think this might have happened when splitting editor panes (which i do a lot, love the side by side comparison), and also switching the perspective.
Any ideas on how i can get the editor back in the visible window?
Above is a screenshot of how it looks. At the time of the screen shot i had just recently clicked a file to open it, and it seems to have opened in the invisible editor.
I've tried all given solutions and none of them solved the problem.
Only using Window->New Window gave me a new fixed eclipse window.
Try Window > Reset Perspective to get things back to normal.
I minimized sharedArea and after restore it was empty. Editors worked well (open, close, save etc.) but i could not see them. Closing all perspectives helped.
This happens to me sometimes when I try to split an editor group by dragging an editor tab. The only solution that worked for me was to close every single perspective in the application toolbar, then Window -> New Window.
I've had this happen occasionally when splitting panes. Restarting Eclipse didn't work for me, nor did resetting the perspective.
The solution I stumbled upon was to give the editor area focus (by clicking in the area where it should be, I suppose) and close files in the invisible editor with Ctrl+W until the editor reappears. You may notice the window title changes to follow the file in the hidden editor.
I had the same problem and simply stopping/restarting Eclipse fixed it.
I have the fix, when neither resetting the perspective or restarting eclipse helps:
At the bottom of the File Menu, there is your recent file name that you are trying to get back. Click on that and it should return.
Start eclipse with:
eclipse.exe -repair
I feel slightly like n00b encountering windows for the first time, but I have lost the editor window in Eclipse. I had dragged one of two tabs to one side such that I could view the two files side by side and it disappeared. Foolishly, I then dragged the remaining tab to the same position and found that it also disappeared.
When I select 'Windows' > 'Navigation' > 'Next editor' I can see that both files are still open. I have tried opening other files, and although they do open they are similarly invisible. I tried resetting the perspective, but the editor was left absent. I'm running out of ideas, so any contributions would be highly welcome! I'm using a mac by the way.
Perspective reset or window->new editor did not work for me. What worked though was to create a new window with Window->New Window, and then close the first one with editor hidden. Hope this help.
Just so this case be changed to 'answered':
I ended up using cmd-W to close the editors one by one, then was able to open a new editor. I still don't understand what caused the problem, but at least it is solved now. Many thanks for the suggestions though!
Pressing the F12 key normally focuses the Editor only if the Editor is not minimized.
Window -> New Editor is also disabled once the Editor view is minimized.
What's definitely going to work is resetting the perspective by doing Window -> Reset Perspective. That should bring the editor back into view.
Take a look at this screencast which shows how to do this.
They might have been in a separate window. Try right clicking on the Eclipse icon on your dock and see if the editors are there. If yes, drag them to your IDE.
I got the same problem today. I solved it just by Window > Reset perspective...
I have lost the editor too doing drag & drop. I try all here, and finally I used Window > New Widow and the second one comes with editor.
I recently updated my Eclipse (now running 20100218-1602), and I've found whenever I click around quickly between tabs on the tab bar, it will sometimes maximize the editor and hide the PHP Explorer to the left. After researching a little, this appears to be a feature of double clicking a tab. So I guess it's my fault, I'm sure I'm clicking around too fast and mistakenly double clicking a tab, but it happens often enough on what I'd consider a normal editing session that I've come to absolutely loathe it, and even after the usual googling due diligence cannot figure out how to turn it off.
From this post someone mentions the Window.AutoHideAll shortcut, however that seems to only be for assigning keyboard shortcuts--this is a mouse click thing. But maybe it's a clue.
I can't find anything relevant under Eclipse -> Preferences -> PHP. I don't think it's specific to PHP because if I switch to the Java perspective, double clicking a tab hides the Package Explorer.
Any suggestions are appreciated, thanks!
You could settle for a simpler solution than some arcane settings or shortcut:
resize your Eclipse main windows a bit smaller
drag the views you do not want to be covered after a "tab double-click" outside the main Eclipse window
there is no 3.
When you double-click, the Editor will cover only the main Eclipse window, while the other views will still be visible just beside that window.
I could have sworn I saw it once before in a screencast where someone had the find/replace window docked in their Eclipse environment.
However looking through the list of options in "Window > Show" the closest thing I can find is the Search window.
I find that I use it quite a bit and with larger monitors these days I figure I could afford to have it open in my perspective all the time.
Is this possible?
Thanks.
One poor-man's workaround is to dock a view that you don't need in a part of Eclipse where you want the find/replace view and then place the find/replace dialog on top of that like this:
Clearly this is a huge kludge but it does work.
I am not sure about that, since Fast views are:
icons allowing users to quickly display different views that have been created as fast views
And the search/replace is a Dialog, not a View..
(source: bpsite.net)
(That Dialog box is not like Views, which support editors, also have their own menus. Some views also have their own toolbars.)
The help page mentions:
Fast views are hidden views that can be quickly opened and closed. They work like other views except they do not take up space in your Workbench window.
This might not be an exact answer for the question. But this works like a charm.
Press ctrl + j and keep typing...
Use ctrl + k to go on
Use shift key wherever required.
Use Edit > Incremental Find Next (Ctrl+J) or Edit > Incremental Find Previous (Ctrl+Shift+J) to enter the incremental find mode, and start typing the string to match. Matches are found incrementally as you type. The search string is shown in the status line. Press Ctrl+J or Ctrl+Shift+J to go to the next or previous match. Press Enter or Esc to exit incremental find mode.
