I have a TI-89 program that creates a custom menu. I want my custom menu to include Copy, Cut, Paste, and Clear Home options, just like you can use in the Home menu under the F1 tools tab. How can these functions be implemented?
menu()
Prgm
setFold(myMenu)
Custom
Title "Tools"
Item "Copy"
Item "Cut"
Item "Paste"
Item "Clear Home"
EndCustm
EndPrgm
There's no supported way to do this. According to the TI-89/92 manual, on page 303:
Note: When the user selects a menu item, the text defined by that Item command is pasted to the current cursor location.
There's no way to create a custom menu which invokes other actions, short of modifying the TI CAS or installing a patch.

I'm trying to add a scm/change/title menu item for some manipulations of the scm changes, but I cannot find where it goes after being added. I've tested with other menus and the command works. The official doc states that
The scm/change/title allows you to contribute commands to the title bar of an inline change.
I'm wondering where exactly is this "title bar of an inline change"? Is it hidden somewhere in the window below? I've tried to right click almost everywhere inside the window but still failed to find it ...
The 1.18 release note shows this:
The doc mentions:
There are five Source Control menu ids where you can place menu items, in order to provide the user with a much richer user interface.
The scm/title menu is located to the right of the SCM view title.
The menu items in the navigation group will be inline, while all the others will be within the … dropdown.
I accidentally removed search icon in Activity Bar and don't know how to add it there again. If I click on Activity Bar, I don't see this option any more.
Update: v1.44 you can now simply drag many of the views, including "Search" from the sidebar to the panel and back. See https://code.visualstudio.com/updates/v1_44#_increased-view-placement-flexibility and https://stackoverflow.com/a/55981465/836330
Update: v1.42 added a context menu option
Move to Panel/Move to Sidebar
to certain typically sidebar views like Search, Outline and custom views. So you wouldn't have to use a setting to move the Search view back to the sidebar. Here is a demo:
Also notice that you no longer right-click in the empty space below the search inputs in the sidebar but on/near the Search header itself to bring up the toggle option.
As part of the v1.42 release the search.location setting mentioned below will be deprecated.
Your setting should migrate automatically, but you will need to use
the new generalized method to move the Search view going forward. You
do not need to enable the experimental preview setting above in order
to move the Search view with the new context menu entry.
So I don't think there is a setting anymore, you just right-click on the header text "Search" whether it is in the Panel or active in the Sidebar to move it. See the demo below.
Right-click on the "Search" header if you have it in the sidebar to "Move to Panel".
If Search is in the panel, right-click on the word Search to "Move to Sidebar".
To enable moving the Output view at this point, you need to enable workbench.view.experimental.allowMovingToNewContainer.
There is a new unbound command workbench.view.search.moveView which you can use to toggle the search position between the panel and sidebar. But note that in my testing it only works a couple of times because it focuses the panel when you move search to the sidebar - I'll file a bug.
Previous Answer::
You may have modified the setting:
"search.location": "sidebar",
which is the default to the alternative
"search.location": "panel",
which would put the search widget into the terminal panel as another tab.
As of vscode v1.35 or so, you can now right-click in the empty space below the search view (i.e., in the sidebar under the open search inputs) and you will get an option to Toggle Search View Position.
This context menu switch of the search view is persistent. It will automatically add this setting to your settings.json:
"search.location": "panel",
The only way at present (but see edit just below) to move the icon back to the activity bar (and thus the search across files functionality to the sidebar) is to change that setting to the sidebar option. Or look for this setting in the settings editor:
Search: Location
Controls whether the search will be shown as a view
in the sidebar or as a panel in the panel area for more horizontal
space.
EDIT: More recently, vscode added the abilty to right-click in the search area when it is in the panel to toggle it back to the sidebar.
In windows

You can easily search for anything in the side paanel
or else if you want anything to search inside files then
Step 1: Click "Ctrl+F"
Using extension points I have created a new menu item in menubar. My requirement is to display the shortcut name along with the menu name. For example, in Help Menu I have added a menuitem as "Tutorial". But I want to display it along with the shortcut say Ctrl+Alt+T. Shortcut is working but need to display the same in the menubar.
How can I achieve this?
High level todo list. In your e4xmi file (model):
add a binding context (BC)
add a binding table (BT) for the Binding context
link your menuitem to a command
in the BT, add a Keybinding (eg M1 +T for Ctrl T), link it to the command
link the BC to your main window (add the BC to the list of Binding context in the Trimmed Window attributes ) (or the artefact where the menu bar is attached)
As the keybinding is linked to a command, everywhere you use the command (menu, toolbar etc.) the shortcut will be displayed
Does anyone know how to get the default toolbar on Eclipse.
Basically it had all the shortcuts like AVD manager, SDK manager, new, etc etc...
I somehow lost a few of them. Now I am trying to reset things if possible.
Follow the below steps, might help you out :-
To hide a menu item or toolbar button:
1) Switch to the perspective that you want to configure.
2) Select command link Window > Customize Perspective....
3) Open the Menu Visibility or Tool Bar Visibility tab.
4) Find the item you want to hide. You can do this two ways:
Expand the menu or toolbar hierarchy to find the item you want to hide.
Click the Filter by command group check box to see a list of command groups which contribute items, and choose the command group the item you wish to hide. Then navigate to the item in the hierarchy in the Structure tree.
5)Hover over the item to get additional information:
a description of what the item does
the name of the command group which contributes the item (click the link in this item to switch to the Command Groups Availability tab with the appropriate command group selected).
any key bindings associated with the command the item performs (click the link in this item to open the Keys page of the Preferences dialog with the command selected, if possible).
if the item is dynamic, a preview of its current appearance (dynamic items are listed as [Dynamic]).
6) Uncheck the check box next to the item. Uncheck a menu to hide all its children.
7) Click OK to cause the changes to take effect.
Using the tooltip which appears over items, you can navigate to the Command Group Availability tab and make the entire command group unavailable if you wish to remove all menu items, toolbar buttons and keybindings of all commands contributed by the command group.
My question can be split into three:
Is it possible to hide/remove arbitrary context menu items in Eclipse (3.6) by ...
standard UI?
some existing plug-in?
custom plug-in?
I failed to find ways to do this by methods 1 and 2. If the only option is creating custom plug-in, could anyone push me towards the right direction where to start (I have some experience in Java, but not in Eclipse plug-ins).
You can hide menus or menu entries through the standard GUI: see help
To hide a menu item or toolbar button:
Switch to the perspective that you want to configure.
Select Window > Customize Perspective....
Open the Menu Visibility or Tool Bar Visibility tab.
Find the item you want to hide.
Uncheck the check box next to the item. Uncheck a menu to hide all its children.
Click OK to cause the changes to take effect.
But that will hide this entry from all the menus (contextual or not) in which it is present.
So it may not be as fine-grained as you want through the GUI.
You can also try it through a plugin (see also Menu contribution)
The first steps are pretty standard for using extensions in Eclipse.
Open the plugin.xml file and add the org.eclipse.ui.activities extension.
Then create an activity node and give it a unique ID.
Then create an activityPatternBinding node and use the unique ID for the activity to find the pattern node to the activity node.
The activityPatternBinding node requires that you supply a regular expression for the ID string of the UI element that you wish to hide.
The problem is that there appears to be at least 3 ways that menu items and toolbar buttons are added to the UI.
The first way is through the newer Command/Menu Extensions.
The second way is through the older ActionSets Extension.
Then there are other UI elements that appear to be hard coded into the Workbench and do not have ID strings and cannot be hidden using the Activities Extension. Luckily there are few of this third type of UI element.
Considering you are talking about the latest Eclipse, I will copy only the first way:
1/ Use the Plug-In Spy
The first way is to use the Plug-In Spy.
Press alt-shift-F2 and click on a menu item or toolbar button that you want to be hidden.
If there is an ID string under the heading "active action definition identifier" then you are in luck.
This item has been added using the Command Extension and you can use this ID as the pattern argument for the Activities Extension.
But not all items that have been added using the Command Extension present their ID string to the plug-in spy.
As a side note, the ID strings are period separated.
For instance the ID for a button might be "org.eclipse.ui.navigate.backwardHistory".
Regular expressions use the period to stand for any character. Luckily the period used as a wild card matches with actual period characters so you don't need to escape them if you don't want to. I find it makes it a bit easier to read if they are not escaped and it is highly unlikely it will cause any ambiguous matches.
