I know this sounds like a newbie question, but I've been using PyDev for years and never run into this till now. I've searched Google for hours to no available. I feel like I'm overlooking something really simple, but...
In PyDev, when I search (ctrl-H), the dialog box always has "Case Sensitive" checked when it first comes up. I'm 99.5% sure this didn't use to be the case for me. However, I cannot seem to locate the setting that turns off Case Sensitive by default.
Thanks,
Matt
Well, this doesn't seem to happen to me... when I do Ctrl+H the case-sensitive is unchecked. Which PyDev/Eclipse versions are you using? Which OS? Do you have some error in your error log? (see http://pydev.org/faq.html for how to get it)
p.s.: Note that in an existing search it'll reload the configuration you used last for it.

Sorry if the question is bit silly, but on Ubuntu 16.4 I am trying out code editors for Angular 2. VS Code appeals because of TypeScript. But when I open a location the directory name in File Explorer is in ALL CAPS even though I don't use CAPS in directory names? Googling didn't help. Perhaps I am missing something.
How can I change it show my directory name exactly as it is in Ubuntu please? I have tried to look into settings.json etc but no joy.
Cheers.
if you mean this (see the image below), that would be a standard behaviour and has nothing to do with actual size of the letters. As far as I can tell, you cannot change this.
Well I went to GitHub as suggested but they have sadly declined (click) to do anything about this as some "as designed" thing, whatever that means. Pretty bad, but okay whatever.
Use this to customise. https://gist.github.com/Hendrixer/7a250a2be529cda8939de8305c9a85a1
It's just another chromium based renderer. Open developer console and customise anything you like.
I have this for every categories, it's all blank except the one i select, the only thing i think may have caused problems is the fact that i've used this plugin before. How can i fix this ?
Changing back to "Metal" Preferred look and feel seems to have fixed the problem
The Praxis LIVE look and feel - plugin detail itself states :
...
Because of the way this plugin is used in Praxis LIVE it overrides all
look and feel settings when installed - you'll need to uninstall it to
switch back to another look and feel. Treat this as beta, or even
alpha! Some things might not show correctly yet, and certain icons
still need fixing.
(emphasis mine).
As this is still in it's beta/alpha testing stage, I'd suggest you to uninstall this plugin, and switch back to the other look and feel.
So basically I want to drive myself crazy while disciplining myself learning to program. I want to kick it old school and really understand what I'm doing. I don't want Eclipse to hold my hand and tell me that I have a syntax error or that I have any errors except for when I run my code and the console tells me something is wrong. I have searched and searched and searched online and I cannot find where you disable anything. I've been to the editor/compiler preferences and changed everything to ignore instead of warning, but eclipse is still holding my hand.
I'm using Eclipse Luna for Java. Any suggestions or help at all would be greatly appreciated!!!
The closest I think you'll get is to disable the automatic, incremental compilation (menu Project > Build Automatically). But that doesn't disable the Java editor's natural tendency to highlight obvious syntactical errors as you type.
To be honest, if you really want to avoid all of the guidance that an IDE like Eclipse gives you, you'd probably be better off using a "plain" text editor (possibly with simple syntax coloring), such as TextPad or Notepad++, along with command-line javac. But I don't think that will actually help you learn better; it certainly doesn't help with the exploratory/discovery part of learning.
I wonder, using Eclipse's PyDev plugin, how come documentation does not always show up?
Compared with
Is there a way to set Eclipse to "always show modules available along with the help attached"?
The problem is that depending on each context, the PyDev type inference engine may know or not what you're talking about... In the first situation it knows you're dealing with a string and thus can show you things properly. In the second, word is probably some parameter, so, it can't really find swapcase properly -- although it should work if you did an assert isinstance(word, str).
I know some (crazy) people want to move from IntelliJ to Eclipse. On my side, I am moving the "normal way", i.e. from Eclipse 3.3 to IntelliJ 8.0.1
I really like it, but I am a little lost sometimes.
Do you know any specific IntelliJ guide or tutorial created specifically for Eclipse users?
For example, after some tests, I missed some options usefull on Eclipse (I don't say they don't exist in IntelliJ, I just say that I didn't find them !):
Automatic insert at the correct position of the ';' character
Actions made on save (format, reorganize and clean imports)...
Check this FAQ in the Jetbrains home page: link. It is not a guide or tutorial, but it goes through some basic concepts that Eclipse users should accustom themselves with when they move.
For automatically inserting ';' at the correct position (as well as braces) the last time I've looked (probably Idea 6, maybe 7) it didn't exist. My colleagues always wonder why I insert ';' in stupid places when I'm pairing with them. I told them to notify me when this feature becomes available in Idea, but until now they didn't.
There's the two topmost related questions (see right column) covering "Things possible in A that aren't possible in B" for both directions - you might find ideas there as well as in the comments to the answers where people tell you what to alternatively do.
Edit (maybe this is better here than in the comments);
...it seems to be somewhat possible. See the comment to my answer to the related question: . One could argue that CTRL-SHIFT-ENTER is less intuitive than ';', but in Idea you get used to type a lot more of such shortcuts than in eclipse... This comes closest to the functionality you asked for. Hope it helps...
