How to close the doc reading part of the IPython notebook? - ipython

In an IPython notebook, when you look at some docs with ? or help(), a split frame is opened at the bottom of the screen where the documentation shows up.
While I find this useful as a guide for continuing to play with some Python code, I would like to close this spit frame when I'm done reading the docs, so to get back the screen space.
But I can't find instructions anywhere, not with Google and not in the IPython notebook docs how to do this?
Anybody knows?

Doh, one has to click on the very slim divider line. The subframe then closes...

You have to press the q key.
That works for me.

VSCode autocomplete/intellisense(?) in Jupyter Notebook when starting string literals keeps making me accidentally insert 'ArithmeticError' every time

screenshot of the popup code suggestion box being mentioned
In VSCode Jupyter Notebook code cells, I keep having this annoying popup when I open any single or double quotes. It doesn't appear on markdown cells, nor in regular editor on .py files. It doesn't look like your typical IntelliSense suggestions either (I think), and I've tried to disable as many of such extensions as possible, but I'm not able to get rid of this annoying popup.
Appreciate if someone could point me in the right direction. Or at least what it's actually called, so I can Google the correct term. Thanks.
Figured it out.
In VS Code settings, go to Extensions > Jupyter > Python Completion Trigger Characters
defaults were: .%'"
So I deleted the single and double quotes, restarted, and voila, no more annoying popups.

Highlighting problem in Jupyter Notebook - VSCode

Lately when using Jupyter Notebook in VS Code to write some assignments for my studies I ran into a quite annoying problem - whenever there is a mistake in my code cell that prevents it from running, the "traceback" (or however you call it) to the place where the error persists is colored with a high-contrast marker (the color depends on the theme used) and makes the content pretty much invisible unless you manually "select" it with the mouse coursor. Is there any way I could fix it without going too much in-depth into VSCode/Jupyter Notebook extension settings?
The highlighting looks like shown below.
Yellow syntax marker problem.
And another one here.
I tried all the themes preinstalled with VS Code such as Monokai, Solarized Light etc., and also a custom theme of my choice called Dracula.
Thanks in advance.
This issue has recently reappeared. While the issue is being fixed you can change the highlight colour within the vscode settings.
Open settings and search for "Workbench:ColorCustomizations"

Create or alter the "terminal.ansiYellow": "#eed202" to a more appropriate value like "terminal.ansiYellow": "#9b4550". See the linked image.

I also have this problem. It looks like they fixed it less than 1 month ago as of writing this, so it may go away if you update to a recent pre-release of Jupyter in VS Code. Personally, I am going to live with it until the next stable release.

jupyter notebook display cells horizontal

I have issues on jupyter notebook conversion. It looks fine on jupyter notebook. However if I convert it to html or upload to github, it displays like photo above.
Instead of vertical(scroll up and down), I have to scroll left and right and each cell are really narrowed.
Any suggestion?
Thanks in advance!
This is typical of a library you use emitting invalid HTML. I would suggest opening an issue or contacting the Jupyter mailing list to help you debug this as StackOverflow will not be the right place to have a back and forth.
You should be able to narrow down which library does that by:
- backup your notebook.
- Delete cells one and until notebook looks normal. (tip use nbconvert locally instead of uploading, and use python -m http.server)
- the last cell you delete have a issue.
It may be a bug in nbconvert but I doubt it.

vscode on mac is incorrectly highlighting text around text blocks

It is very annoying to see that background around code is lighter then the rest of the program. When the cursor moves the highlighting moves up and down to full window width. Can you please propose solution how to turn this highlighting off. Same problem is in output of task log, and in file explorer.
I have deleted all the settings and Application data and I have same problem. I have installed vscode on windows and I do not have this problem with same settings.
Unfortunately this is an issue in Chromium. You can work around this by starting VS Code with --disable-gpu from the command line.

It appears this can be fixed for some users by selecting a different color profile in macOS display settings. Note that you have to change this separately for all monitors that you use.
For me, "Apple RGB" will show these blocks, and switching to "LED Cinema Display" or "iMac" solves the issue.

Gnome shell two monitors full screen apps

I'm working on the Ubuntu 16.04 whit Gnome Shell version 3.18.5 and I'm using two monitors. Issue which I have regarding aplications opend in the full screen mode.
For expample if I open on the monitor number 1 my browser and on the monitor number 2 terminal in full screen mode plus some additional application such as a code editor(not full screen). Now when I'm focus on the code editor which is on the top of the terminal it's ok but when I click on my broser window(monitor 1) then the code editor gose behind the terminal automatically.
I've prepared some video to better show this problem:
In this video you can see correct behaviour when I'm using one monitor.
Here is video showing incorrect behaviour. Don't care about the elements which are above the terminal on the left screen. Terminal was set to full screen.
Dose anybody know how to change this behaviour? I was looking for solution in google but without success. Thank you.
That's the expected behavior when things are in focus/out of focus. Try resizing your windows so they don't block one another; thus, nothing will be "behind" anything else when you shift focus by clicking here or there.
