I'm developing a qgis python plugin. This plugin changes the default UI windows displayed (which I've already managed to do) and creates a few new tabs and such. Recently, it was requested that I modify some of the options within qgis. These are what they want me to modify:
Under Settings -> Options -> CRS ... modify the preference to Always start new projects with this CRS. They want me to change that to a specific CRS. They also want me to change several settings under the general tab and the map tools tab.
I have no idea where these preferences live in the API and/or how I can change them. I don't think I need specifics, but if you could give me a general idea of where to look, it would be much appreciated. Thanks!
I figured out the answer here. This mailing list entry: http://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/qgis-developer/2012-October/022627.html and this http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-5.0/qtcore/qsettings.html were helpful. I ended up going into the windows registry to figure out the names of the options (since that's where they're set when you use store QSettings natively in Windows. It was under HKEY_USERS/myid/Software/QuantumGIS. In there, I just experimented by turning things on and off to figure out what needed to be changed in the plugin. I did that like this.
settings = QSettings(QSettings.NativeFormat, QSettings.UserScope, 'QuantumGIS', 'QGis')
settings.setValue('/Projections/projectDefaultCrs', 'EPSG:2278')
Hope this helps someone else.

I'm looking for a solution.
When I type some CSS inside VSC, the editor show me a list of possible choice. Then I select the desire one and the editor show me again a list of possible properties, but between all this properties their are some old one that are still use in web development if we want to make a website compatible with older browser.
I figure that some suggestion in VSC are display with strikethrought, so I'm looking to a solution to apply this to my personal snippets.

I'm really sorry - I can't add an Environmental Query. It's not available in the AI menu when trying to "Add New" to add an advanced item, it's not in project settings, and you can't add one from the BT.
I can't follow the AI tutorial as there's no way to add an EQS query. I've looked in many posts and other forums but nothing seems to apply to 4.18.3
Also, I can't find any ini file setting with anything like "EnvironmentQuery" in it, to enable it in some ini file.
Is there some add-on I need to install?
How can I add an Environment Query to my project?
Solved
In Config/DefaultEngine.ini I had to manually add:
[EnvironmentQueryEd]
EnableEnvironmentQueryEd=True
Enabling the Environment Query System:
Edit Menu -> Editor Preferences
Experimental
Scroll down to AI
Enable Environment Query System
Solved
In Config/DefaultEngine.ini I had to manually add:
[EnvironmentQueryEd] EnableEnvironmentQueryEd=True
I like to use several different workspaces, so as to keep everything organized. However, its annoying to have to copy the .settings folder to all my workspaces just because I added a keyboard shortcut. I'm looking for a way to update the preferences of all my workspaces whenever I change the preferences in one workspace. The settings I care about are keyboard shortcuts, code style, fonts, etc.
I have found this plugin which might be useful, but doesn't seem to be exactly what I'm looking for.
Ideally, I could have my settings saved in the cloud somewhere. On startup, Eclipse will check if workspace settings and the settings in the cloud differ, and if so, import them from the cloud. If I change any settings, then these preferences should be exported to the cloud. This way I also have my preferences on my school's lab machines.
Does anybody know a way to make this work? I'm all ears.
Thanks
Short answer: no. The easiest thing is probably just manually configure your preferences on those two or three PCs where you use Eclipse, and move on.
Longer answer: yes, you can copy (and standardize) Eclipse settings (e.g. for a standard configuration across your development shop). Here's a good article explaining how:

Finally, there's still no easy way (AFAIK) to safely and reliably UNINSTALL plug-ins as of the latest/greatest version (Indigo, Eclipse 3.7). So if you find yourself experimenting with a lot of plug-ins .. some of which you might ultimately wish to get rid of ... then maybe your best bet is installing Eclipse on a VM (say, VBox or VMWare, running Linux or Windows). Use your VM as a little "sandbox" where you can try stuff out, and easily clone (if you like it) or blow it away (if you don't).

The Eclipse content assist for PHP (and I'm assuming for other types as well) isn't using the currently active working set - it's searching ALL files in the project. How do I change it to only use the active working set?
When doing a Ctrl+Shift+R search, it was also looking for all files in the project (not what I wanted), until I clicked the small black triangle in that window and selected the working set I wanted it to use. Now it successfully only shows the files that match my search string in the working set. However, this doesn't change anything in the autocomplete content assist feature (i.e. doing a Ctrl+Space to complete the name of a function or variable). Is there any way to accomplish this?
I'm using Eclipse Indigo release, so it's very recent.
I'm afraid it's not possible the way you put it. Eclipse Working Sets just give you a way to organize your projects.
However you may want to take a look at Mylyn, which is fully integrated with Eclipse platform. Here and here is a nice overview of what you can do with Mylyn. But briefly, what it allows you to do is to create a task and maintain a context associated with it. This way, only the relevant files will be displayed in Project Explorer and autocomplete would suggest you only task-focused options.
First of, how can I see what plugin manages the CTRL + SPACE content-assist? And how can I modify it in other to add my own stuff. Any help/idea is gladly welcome.
Thanks.
I think you're looking for "Templates". Assuming you're using Java, this is in the Windows -> Preferences menu, then Java->Editor->Templates. For example, the screenshot below shows the CTRL-SPACE content assist when you type "sysout".
If i would have this task, I would go to preferences. Look for content assist settings. Write down some specific text you see in dialog box. Then go to plugins folder, and start to search inside archives. When match is present, open the plugin.xml of that plugin, and you will see the extension points of the plugin. Based on its name, I am pretty sure you will find the appropiate one. Then you can either google it, or look for plugins extending the extension point. Using JDGui or fetching source code of the extension example plugin will help you in disassembling. Eclipse usually not well documented as for extension points, so i do it this way.
