is it possible to save the current state(all open windows, tabs, connections, files, etc...), shut down SQL Developer, restart it some other day and resume work where you left?
Yes, I've tried it with my SQL Developer Version 4.0.3.16 Build MAIN-16.84
Every time you close SQL Developer while some tabs opened, it will opened those tabs again when you open SQL Developer again
However, SQL Developer won't remember the connections you used to execute those SQLs. So when you try to execute those SQLs, you will prompted to choose the connection where the SQL will be executed
nb : you can also open recent files by using Navigate -> Go To Recent Files
Just to add to nobodykid's answer: It seems to me that open tabs with queries in are not displayed at next session unless they are stored to a file on disk explicitly by the user.
In other words, if you close SQL developer and you do not save your tabs as files on disk explicitly, the tabs will not be recovered upon restart.

I've just run a couple of queries where I forgot to click on the blue 'refresh' button when I launched Oracle SQL Developer.
But I was wondering whether it actually refreshes anyway, when you actually launch it?
Short answer: 'no.'
But first, let's share with folks with the 'blue refresh button' you mention in your question.
What does this button do?
It re-executes the query that the resultset is tied to, in this case
select * from employees
When you restart/re-open SQL Developer it does not even connect to any databases, much less re-execute any queries automatically.
What you might see is a .SQL file re-opened as you had it open when you closed the application from your last session. But no database work will happen until you hit the 'Connect' button.
Disclaimer: I work for Oracle and am the product manager for SQL Developer.
I'm using VSCode to develop on a remote server and my runs tend to generate large, compressed files which are not human readable. Sometimes I inadvertently click on one of these files in the explorer and VSCode attempts to load/open it. Whenever this happens, it just gets stuck on loading and that VSCode window is essentially unusable. I've only ever let it sit for a handful of minutes, but it never seems to finish loading.
So in each of these cases, I have to close the window, open a new one, and reconnect. Also any unsaved changes I have to c+p to my local machine and then back. Is there a way to just kill the loading/opening sequence?
I have been trying to figure this out, and cannot determine if it is possible or not.
Essentially, I commonly work with a VSCode window containing many files located on an external network drive (CIFS mount in Linux). When these files are changed "on-disk", they do not update in the editor until I switch focus to each file by changing the active editor tab. This means I have to switch tabs, wait for the update to process, and then repeat for all open tabs (could be 10 or 20 tabs).
Is there anyway to force all open editors to refresh or revert at once? That would ease my workflow a lot for examining differences between these open files on the fly. There's a command to "Revert File", but that only works on the open file, rather than all currently-opened ones. I've looked in the settings and browsed for an extension, but I can't find anything to accomplish this task.
Well, You can try to map the external network drive to local disk and give appropriate permission for read and write restriction.
If your computer has firewall or anti virus installed, then you must exclude vs access restriction from fw/av inspection.
Otherwise you can also improve your network adapter performance, associate to buffers, throughput, packet latency, etc.
Alternatively, you can use any source control, so your codes could be persist locally and could be synchronized from/to source control server.
Hope this could helps.
I am wondering if something is wrong with my computer (or myself), because I can't seem to drag & drop a file into Visual Studio Code to open it in the editor. Closing an opened folder first doesn't make a difference. VSCode always shows me the 'stop sign', in every spot I tried (the editor, the opened tab bar, an existing opened file, ...).
Why does VSCode block this ?
(I have experienced this in earlier versions as well. Currently on v1.6 on Windows 7.)
Searching for a solution, I stumbled on this page, where one commenter explains:
I think you are running into the security issue where lower permission processes cannot send messages to higher permission processes. Explorere.exe, running at normal permission levels, cannot send the window message to winword.exe, running elevated.
I am indeed always running VSCode as Administrator, but not my Explorer windows.
When I run VSCode in non-administrator mode (so just my regular user), drag-and-drop works fine.
I feel silly as I lost 15 minutes looking into this. In case it helps:
Make sure you are not trying to open files from a zip file...
Cheers.
Occasionally, my fingers are faster then my brain and accidentally close views or windows of my development environment (which is Eclipse Kepler). I usually have two windows of Eclipse running side by side with individual views configured in both of them. Unfortunately, as soon as I (unintentionally) close a view/window, I have to set it up again. E.g. the build files in my Ant view get lost, I have to reopen files and so on...
Generally speaking, are there any plug-ins or options you can recommend that can help me backup and restore sessions? I'm aware of the "Save perspective" feature, but it barely meets my needs.
To be more precise:
Is there any feature to make Eclipse request my confirmation, before a (top-level Eclipse) window is closed? - I rarely do uncontrolled clicks twice :-)
Is there any plugin to save and restore my current views (incl. build files in Ant view)?
Is there any plugin to save a set of open files I'm currently working on? Would be neat, if I could open several files on a single click and get working right away. I'm thinking of a session management, where I can switch between several sets of open files.
Just in case none of the above is available and I messed up again, are there any files I can copy from one workspace to another to restore my Eclipse setup (windows/views)?
Any hints are welcome.
