I don't know what the hotkey I accidentally clicked, but this Ǧ looking sign appeared on every line of code, and there are grey dots instead of spaces in the code.
How can I get rid of those characters?
Assuming this is SQL Developer, go to Tools->Preferences (or on Mac, find that under the SQL Developer menu). Expand the Code Editor section and click on Display. Untick "Show whitespace characters" (second checkbox in the list).
You can check for defined shortcuts under Preferences, in the Shortcut Keys section. On Mac there isn't one for this, but Windows has it as Control+Shift+W, which will also toggle them off if you don't want to go through the preference pane.

Usually in Visual Studio Code, if I want to delete or modify a certain word from my file, I can highlight one of the words and then continuously press CTRL+D to highlight the rest of that same word in the file. But, in CLion, I am unable to find the equivalent shortcut.
I've Googled and searched here on StackOverflow but no luck. Maybe this shortcut doesn't exist in CLion? Can anyone confirm?
EDIT: It's also known as "Select next occurence" in other JetBrains products.
EDIT: The answer is ALT+J
it is alt+j in all of jetbrains products
So I just want to hit on a couple of options that you have, because I work with both CLion & VSCode as well, and needed the same exact keybinding in CLion.
KEYBINDING FUNCTIONALITY SEMANTICS
Unfortunately, it appears that no one cares about standardizing semantics when it comes to editor functionality/features, and keybindings. It can make moving from one editor to the next difficult, and flat out something many people just would rather not have to do.
Please Note:
_I am no expert on JetBrains IDE's, I am somewhat of an expert with VSCode though. I say this because, IDK how much JetBrains IDE's vary from one to the next, however, from having CLion, IntelliJ, and Access to Ryder I can tell you that in the standard IDE's the keymappings seem near Identical, but in Ryder, the keybindings are totally different.
DEV ENVIRONMENT
BOUND-KEYS (dev env's default)
SEMANTICS
CLion
ALT+J
"Add Selection for Next Occurrence"
Visual Studio Code
CTRL+D
"editor.action.addSelectionToNextFindMatch"
Visual Studio 2022 (IDE)
SHIFT+ALT+.
"Edit.insertNextMatchingCaret"
the The correct semantics for referring to the functionality you seek in CLion is contingent on the environment that its being implemented in. The following demonstrates how to correctly reference it in both JetBrains & Visual Studio Environments:
Add Selection To Next Find Match Ctrl+D editor.action.addSelectionToNextFindMatch
Once you know the semantics of the functionality that you want to customize, you no longer have to resort to using any editors default key mapping. You asked about, CLion, so I will demonstrate, in an image (or screenshot) below, how you can change the keybinding to be anything you want it to be.
To get to the window you see in the photo navigate by following the steps below.
Starting from the text editor, find the word 'FILE' on the 'MENUBAR' located at the very top of your screen.
Click on 'FILE' to drop open the 'FILE MENU'.
Scan through the __FILE MENU'_s ITEMS, until you see the selectable ITEM named 'SETTINGS' (it will have a wrench icon next to it).
4 Select 'SETTINGS' by left-clicking it, and you'll open the 'SETTINGS MENU' open.
Another 'LIST' will appear on the left side. There will be 'BOLD ITEMS' and regular weighted SUB ITEMS. Find the 'BOLD ITEM' that reads 'KEYMAP'.
Select 'KEYMAP'.
The image above shows the view in my IDE of the keymap menu. You can see a red arrow, as well as a green arrow, in the image.
GREEN ARROW
The green arrow shows where you can change the entire Keymap, as you can see in the image, mine is set to VSCode, and as far as I can tell, every keybinding is the same as in VSCode. You do have to download the VSCode keymap plugin though.
RED ARROW
The red arrow shows where the "Bound Keys" are listed. Right click on the keybinding and you'll see a menu that reads
Add Mouse Shortcut
Add Keyboard Shortcut
Add Abbreviation
"it may also have options for removing keybindings and mouse shortcuts, it all depends on how the keybinding you click on is configured"
To set the keybinding select Add Keyboard shortcut, and set it to what ever you want.
I am using Adobe's ColdFusion Builder, an Eclipse-based IDE built on top of Aptana.
All of a sudden, I am getting a type of whitespace marker showing in my Eclipse Editor. I must have accidentally hit a key combination.
Here is a screen dump.
I have already tried "General > Editors > Text Editors > Show whitespace characters" and it is not this. I already have show whitespace characters turned off. If I turn it on, then the Whitespace Characters display over the top of what I am already seeing.
Can anyone tell me how this can be turned off? Most annoying.
Many Thanks
It's under Preferences -> General -> Editors -> Text Editors
Just uncheck 'Show Whitespace Characters':
Did you try Restarting Eclipse? If that didn't work, you might try this http://infocenter.arm.com/help/index.jsp?topic=/com.arm.doc.faqs/ka11640.html which explains which file to delete to force eclipse to revert to use default settings.
I have done this several times by accidentally hitting some keystrokes.
If you go to Windows/Preferences/General/Keys you will see all the keyboard shortcuts you have.
Mine is set to Control + .
(that's a period by the way) I had to place my cursor inside the document and do it a couple of times to make it work because there is also a keyboard shortcut for Control +
On a Mac it is Cmd +.
Hope that helps.
In Komodo Edit, an input field is available in the toolbar. When I type text in it, it highlights matching search results. Is there something like this in Eclipse, either directly or via a plugin?
As TK Gospodinov has already mentioned, there is an Incremental option in Find/Replace (Ctrl+F) dialog.
There is also a special key binding for Incremental search in Eclipse (and personally I use it more frequently). From Eclipse Tips and Tricks:
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.
If you'd like to have search functionality in a toolbar, you may be interested in the eclipse-glance plugin, which allows you to use the incremental search function in a toolbar by pressing Ctrl + Alt + F while in any text area.
This feature is already available in eclipse. No need to install any plug-in.
Press Ctrl+F, and the Find pop up appears.
Now check the incremental checkbox, and then your texts will be found as you type. No need to hit return.
OR
Use Ctrl+J and you can activate the live search, just that there wont be any UI visible, but you can see the status in eclipse status bar at the bottom.
Press Ctrl+J, start typing the text you want to search for. Press esc to go back to edit mode
The closest thing to the functionality you are asking about is the 'incremental search' mode, which is triggered by checking the 'Incremental' checkbox in the Options group on the Find/Replace dialog in Eclipse (Ctrl+F from the code editor). This will make it start highlighting matches as you type, and if they are keywords, Eclipse will highlight other occurrences (references) in the code editor. Matches inside strings or Javadoc will not be highlighted, however, unless it happens to be the first match after your cursor's position inside the editor.
One similar thing (not the same) is just enabling "mark occurences", then selecting function name, variable etc.
In Emacs when I hit tab anywhere on a line, the line will indent correctly (or at least to the mode settings). When I hit tab again it will move back to the next block. When programming Python this really helps since closing a block is done by lowering the indention level.
Is there a way to configure Eclipse to do the same?
Currently, I have to erase the leading white space then hit tab.
This question is a reposting of a superuser question.
Try ctrl-i (Cmd-i on osx) to indent the current line or a selection inside eclipse (if you're using default key binds as opposed to emacs). Or, if you want a different key bind, go to Appearances > General > Keys and change the bind for Correct Indentation to key(s) of your choice
In Eclipse, go to Windows -> Preference -> Java -> Formatter.
In Active Profile drop down box, select any profile, click Edit on right of it.
In Profile Dialog box opened, you can change a lot of things like Indentation, New Line, Braces, White Spaces etc.
Alternatively, if your profile is altogether different than standard one, Create a new active profile and then edit it accordingly.
I installed EPIC, but I cannot see the line number even I enable line number, any idea?
This is what worked for me:
Goto:
Window->Preferences->Perl Epic->Editor, then place a check beside "Show line numbers."
Window->Preferences->General->Editors->Test Editors, then UNCHECK Show line numbers.
Click Apply.
If the line numbers do not show up, right click on the left margin of the perl file you are viewing and click "Show Line Numbers" from the popup menu.
Make sure you uncheck the one in the general settings and check the one for the EPIC settings.
You may need to restart Eclipse to see the line numbers.
Eclipse->Window->Preferences->Perl Epic->Editor, then check "Show line numbers."
