I want to create a custom keymapping in vscode that would help me write special text faster when writing in LATEX.
Example of what I mean :
I'm using the \color{choosen_color}{text} command in latex.
I have written "some text" and within that I want to use the above command over the "text" word.
Instead of having to write it manually, I want that if I select "text" and then press Ctrl+Alt+c, vscode automatically writes \color{}{text} and place the cursor between the first brackets.
Any idea how to do it ?
Ok, so thanks to #rioV8 I figured it out.
What I was looking for is the VsCode Keymapping snippets.
More about it here :

Visual Studio Code snippet as keyboard shortcut key
This is in the RubyMine IDE.
It seems really simple but I can't find a way to do it. I want to take a line
[:a, :b, :c]
and as part of the reformatting rearrange each value to one line like so:
[
:a,
:b,
:c
]
And assign a nice little keyboard shortcut.
Any idea how I do this? RubyMine documentation isn't great.
Not familiar with a way to use the IDE reformatter for this need.
But, you can achieve the rearrangement using the find an replace tool (CTRL + R).
Mark the regex checkbox.
In the find box look for space - ().
In the replace box, insert newline - \n\t.
Then hit Replace all - it should do most of the job.
I'm trying to use Notepad++ with the Progress programming language.
I have installed the language definition in %APPDATA%\Roaming\Notepad++ as userDefineLang.xml and syntax highlighting is working correctly.
I've put a file in the notepad++ Plugins\APIs directory named progress.xml, but the contents are not recognized by Notepad++.
I've also removed all the other language files from that directory and Notepad++ still shows the exact same autocomplete suggestions it did before I removed them.
Also, when typing in a program, it looks like every word in the file is an auto-complete suggestion, not just the keywords or function names.
Anyone know how to track this down?
Notepad++ provides 2 types of features:
Auto-completion that read the open file and provide suggestion of words and/or functions within the file
Suggestion with the arguments of functions (specific to the language)
Based on what you write, it seems what you want is auto-completion on function only + suggestion on arguments.
To do that, you just need to change a setting.
Go to Settings > Preferences... > Auto-completion
Check Enable Auto-completion on each input
Select Function completion and not Word completion
Check Function parameter hint on input (if you have this option)
On version 6.5.5 of Notepad++, I have this setting
Some documentation about auto-completion is available in Notepad++ Wiki.
The answer is to DISABLE "Enable auto-completion on each input". Tested and works perfectly.
This is a simple question :
Is there any automatic indentation alignment on Eclipse PDT when you do a copy-paste ?
Because it doesn't work on my installation (raw copy-paste), but maybe this is because I use tabs instead of spaces, so I want to know if it will work if I switch to spaces.
Thanks
Actually, such a function exists now for eclipse CDT. In preferences : C++ -> Editor -> Typing, "when pasting", "adjust indentation".
Perhaps it is the same for PDT ?
I don't know specifically about PDT, but normally you can indent code with Ctrl + i, and format code with Ctrl + Shift + f (under Preferences -> Java -> Code Style -> Formatter you can specify how the formatter should work).
You can even select multiple files in the navigator and select Source -> Format to format several files then.
Tony Vermeiren had a suggestion that worked for me
(from https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=351771#c17)
open workspace/.metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.core.runtime/.settings/org.eclipse.php.ui.prefs
add "smartPaste=false" at the end
save & restart eclipse
A similar idea to Davids is the use of Save actions: in the Preferences selecting Java/Editor/Save actions you can define an action to format the java code files during saves. It would solve the paste format problems during the save.
If you manage codes with different coding standards, where this formatting might have problems, define multiple formats, on a per-project basis (using the Project properties window).
Ok then I guess the answer is : no, this functionnality doesn't exists yet. I've moved to PhpStorm and I'm more than happy.
TLDR: uncheck "C/C++->Editor->Typing->Adjust indentation"
Explanation:
When i copy paste the following:
And "C/C++->Editor->Typing->Adjust indentation" checked
The result is that the second line has unwanted indentation:
To fix this just uncheck "C/C++->Editor->Typing->Adjust indentation"
The question has two parts, one of which I already have the answer for.
How to auto-remove trailing whitespace from the entire file being edited? -> Answer: use the AnyEdit plugin, which can be set to do that on any save to the file.
How to auto-remove trailing whitespace only from the lines I changed? -> This I don't know and would appreciate any help.
I assume your questions is with regards to Java code. If that's the case, you don't actually need any extra plugins to accomplish 1). You can just go to Preferences -> Java -> Editor -> Save Actions and configure it to remove trailing whitespace.
By the sounds of it you also want to make this a team-wide setting, right? To make life easier and avoid having to remember setting it up every time you have a new workspace you can set the save action as a project specific preference that gets stored into your SCM along with the code.
In order to do that right-click on your project and go to Properties -> Java Editor -> Save Actions. From there you can enable project specific settings and configure it to remove trailing whitespace (among other useful things).
NB: This option has been removed in Eclipse Kepler (4.3) and following releases.
NB #2: The option seems to be back in Eclipse Luna - Luna Service Release 1a (4.4.1)
Removing whitespace from the entire file being edited:
Preferences -> Java -> Editors -> Save Actions -> check Perform the selected actions on save -> check Additional actions -> click Configure.. -> go to Code organizing tab -> check Remove trailing whitespace -> select All lines.
Removing whitespace only from the lines I changed:
Preferences -> Java -> Editor -> Save Actions -> check "Perform the selected actions on save -> check Format source code -> select Format edited lines.
Note it is not necessary to click Configure the formatter settings on the Formatter page - all the code styles automatically include removing trailing whitespace. At least I couldn't find a setting for this in Formatter configuration, and it worked out of the box for built-in Java Conventions, Eclipse, Eclipse 2.1 styles, as well as GoogleStyle.
When using this set-up, you obviously need to also turn off the solution to part 1 of the question.
Eclipse version checked: 4.5.2, 4.11
You don't need any plugin to do so. For instance, if you code JAVA, you can erase trailing whitespaces configuring save actions:
Eclipse 3.6
Preferences -> Java -> Editors -> Save Actions -> Check Perform the selected actions on save -> Check Additional actions -> Click the Configure.. button.
In the Code organizing tab, check Remove trailing whitespace
PyDev can do it by either Ctrl+Shift+F if you have code formatter option set to do it, or by during saving:
Eclipse -> Window -> Preferences -> PyDev -> Editor -> Code Style -> Code Formatter:
I use at least these:
Auto format before saving
Right trim lines?
Add new line at end of file
Do following:
Preferences -> Java -> Editor -> Save Actions
You can map a key in Eclipse to manually remove trailing whitespaces in the whole file, but only on request instead of automatically at save. (Preference/Keys and then map a set of keys to File/Remove Trailing Whitespace) This can be useful if you want to sanitize all new files, but keep legacy code untouched.
Another strategy is to activate visual display of whitespace, so at least you'll know when you're adding some trailing whitespace. As far as I know, there's no way to display only trailing whitespace though, but I'll be glad to be proved wrong.
In a pinch, for those editors that don't support removal of trailing whitespace at all (e.g. the XML editor), you can remove it from all lines by doing a find and replace, enabling regular expressions, then finding "[\t ]+$" and replacing it with "" (blank). There's probably a better regex to do that but it works for me without needing to install AnyEdit.
I would say AnyEdit too. It does not provide this specific functionalities. However, if you and your team use the AnyEdit features at each save actions, then when you open a file, it must not have any trailing whitespace.
So, if you modify this file, and if you add new trailing spaces, then during the save operation, AnyEdit will remove only these new spaces, as they are the only trailing spaces in this file.
If, for some reasons, you need to keep the trailing spaces on the lines that were not modified by you, then I have no answer for you, and I am not sure this kind of feature exists in any Eclipse plugin...
It is impossible to do it in Eclipse in generic way right now, but it can be changed given with basic Java knowledge and some free time to add basic support for this https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=180349

For php there is also an option:
There is a really easy way to do this with sed, the Unix command line tool. You could probably create a macro in Eclipse to run this:
sed -i 's/[[:space:]]*$//' <filename>
As #Malvineous said, It's not professional but a work-around to use the Find/Replace method to remove trailing space (below including tab U+0009 and whitespace U+0020).
Just press Ctrl + F (or command + F)
Find [\t ][\t ]*$
Replace with blank string
Use Regular expressions
Replace All
extra:
For removing leading space, find ^[\t ][\t ]* instead of [\t ][\t ]*$
For removing blank lines, find ^\s*$\r?\n
I am not aware of any solution for the second part of your question. The reason is that it is not clear how to define I changed. Changed when? Just between 2 saves or between commits... Basically - forget it.
I assume you would like to stick to some guideline, but do not touch the rest of the code. But the guideline should be used overall, and not for bites and pieces. So my suggestion is - change all the code to the guideline: it is once-off operation, but make sure that all your developers have the same plugin (AnyEdit) with the same settings for the project.
I used this command for git: git config --global core.whitespace cr-at-eol
It removes ^M characters that are trailing.
