We are just testing our application on IE9 and I found an issue regarding the arrow keys behaviour in text area in popup window.
Two arrow keys are not working fine:
1) Left arrow key - When we enter some multiline text in the text field and try to move the left arrow key in last line. Repeated left arrows movement on the line result in the cursor going to the left THEN back to the end of the same line. It does not move to the last of the previous line (as expected).
2) Up Arrow Key - When we enter some multiline text in the text field and try to move to the previous line using the Up arrow key. It does not work.
It will be great if somebody can help me on it.
Thanks in Advance :).

I have seen many posts on this in other forums, and had some issues with it in web-based applications we use at my work. It seems to be something weird associated with IE9 and ieSpell.
While some forums have said pressing F7 allows you to get around the problem, it doesn't actually solve it, and there doesn't seem to be any acceptable permanent solution. Some say to dump your browsing history, others to turn caret browsing off in IE options.
Generally, there are lots of suggestions to get around the problem, but none to actually solve it.

So, Ive been using Visual Studio code now for several months, and I love it. BUT, there is one thing that is driving me nuts that I'm tired of dealing with.
VSCode has a terrible habit of changing my text when i hit TAB or ENTER at the end of typing. For example, Let's say I'm writing something and I want to tab over a few tabs. So, as an example:
I type "fix", meaning, i hit tab at the end so I can tab over a few columns. When I do this, my line changes to:
"<fix></fix>" (hope this doesnt looks weird, I had to edit to the tags wouldnt be hidden)
So, in order to tab to the right for in-line comments or something, I have to hit SPACE before i hit tab. Lame.
Similar stuff happens when I hit enter immediately after typing something. It changes my text to something else before leaving the line. So, again, I find myself adding an extra space at the end of every line.
Does an extra space hurt me in the long run? No. But my OCD is freaking out over it.
I dont have tab autocomplete turned on, so why is this behaving as such?
I'm using vscode on a Mac. I disabled and uninstalled all extensions... still happens.
So yeah, I've messed with this for days, and only now after I post a question do I figure it out. These two settings took care of my issues:
// When enabled, emmet abbreviations are expanded when pressing TAB.
"emmet.triggerExpansionOnTab": false,
// Controls if suggestions should be accepted 'Enter' - in addition to 'Tab'. Helps to avoid ambiguity between inserting new lines or accepting suggestions.
"editor.acceptSuggestionOnEnter": false
Emmet was the tab issue, and the accept suggestion on enter was the second, even though no suggestion was showing. Hope this helps someone else...
Sorry if this is a stupid question, for the last ten years I've worked solely in a text editor.
In Netbeans, I'd like to be able to quickly accept the autocomplete and move on. For example:
$foo["bar
Netbeans will have automatically completed this to:
$foo["bar"]
My caret/cursor is after the 'r' of bar. At this stage I would love to be able to hit one key and move to after the ] or even the " and then the ]. I can use the right keyboard arrow but that is impractical/painful. They must have thought of this by version 8? It really interrupts my flow and right now I'm just retyping the characters myself as it's quicker than moving my hand to the arrow keys.
I've scoured Netbean's menus, help, StackOverflow, Google. I think the answer will be very simple but I'm not sure what I should be searching for. I may just be very dim.
I use the end key to jump past the autocompleted characters.
Since I have re-installed my computer, there is a strange phenomena using Eclipse (both JAVA and C/C++).
The moment I press control+shift+s, two red lines appear near my mouse pointer.
Image of the red lines:

When I look in the settings-> keys, the control+shift+s is mapped to save all.
However, it does not save all, and only shows the red lines.
Defaulting the keys mapping does not work, I have tried this.
Does anyone has any idea on what these red lines mean, and how to get rid of them?!
Thanks in advance!

Well great, turned out it wasn't Eclipse after all.
Control+Shift+S is a shortcut from Mouse without borders (great tool by the way)!
So, fixed that one, on to saving a lot of files in one press :)
I often find myself jumping between several parts of a lengthy document, and I've found no streamlined way of handling this. I've previously used TextPad for PC, and it had a great feature called Bookmarks:
Press a keystroke, and the current line is marked. The bookmark shows as an arrow in the gutter.
The same key toggles the marker off again.
Another keystroke sends the caret down to the next bookmark.
Yet another keystroke sends the caret up to the previous bookmark.
Is there anything like this in BBEdit? I loved that feature of Textpad, but I haven't found another editor that has something similar. Currently I use the awkward substitute of typing three slashes /// at a place I want to jump back to, then using Ctrl+F to re-find them, but that's a lot of keystrokes to set/remove markers and to iterate through them.
Thanks!
I think what you are after is BBEdit Markers.

I'm using Eclipse Galileo, with a plugin for PHP development. I use the same editor at work and at home for my personal projects (at work, I do not use PHP or the PHP plugin, however).
One thing about using it is driving me crazy, though, and though I've spent a couple of hours digging through all the different options under Window->Preferences (as well as searching around the Internet), I can't find out how to do this one thing. Maybe someone here can help me?
Here's what's happening. I've got a line of code:
<?php
echo "Hello world"; // <-- I'm talking about this line
?>
and my cursor is on the 'w' in 'world'.
I hit the 'Home' key on my keyboard. In my key mappings, it claims this is supposed to take me to the beginning of the line ('Line Start', to be exact). To me, 'start' means 'there is nothing to the left of this position', aka position 1. As in, no tabs, no spaces, no nothing, and if I hit the 'Left arrow' key on my keyboard, I should then move to the end of the previous line. You know, how your browser works inside of a textarea, and how Word, Notepad, Excel, and almost every other program works.
Instead, when I hit 'Home', my cursor moves to position 5, the very beginning of the word 'echo'. This, in case it's not clear, is NOT the start of the line. It's the start of the non-whitespace content on the line, but that's not the way I expect this key to function. If I hit 'Home' again, I get to the REAL start of the line - position 1. Hit it again, and I'm back to 5.
It's possible that it's not a matter of the 'Home' key at all, but potentially a side-effect of the 'Smart Indenting' function. I also can't figure out how to turn that off (I've seen a few posts here that indicate that it can't be done), and it frequently messes up my formatting which causes me to waste my time fixing it, as I'm particular about how my code looks when I'm coding. For example, when I copy/paste a line, the indenting gets all messed up (the pasted line tabs in to where Eclipse thinks it should be, in spite of all of the preceding whitespace I've copied along with the text on the line). This may be related to the operation of the 'Home' key, or to Eclipse's conception of what the 'start' of the line really means.
I realize that people out there who don't code like I do will have an initial reaction of 'change the way you type', or 'ignore the messed-up formatting and let Eclipse auto-fix it later' or something similar. That's possible, but will take quite a bit of time, and is actively hindered by the fact that I'd be changing the way I work on this one app (in this one setting, as it doesn't do this at work), while all the others will continue to operate as I expect them to. So for me, that sort of suggestion is not a very viable option.
Thanks in advance for any help, advice or assistance you can offer.
PS. If you know of a way for me to keep 'Auto-indenting' on but turn off 'Smart Indenting', please let me know that too.
