Using LinuxMint 12, if you open the "desktops overview" by clicking on the top left corner of the desktop, a little search bar opens on the top-right corner of the desktop. This search does quick app launching without requiring additional plugins, but I can't get an answer on how to get to this launcher without using the mouse.
Does anyone know how I can invoke this launcher with a keyboard shortcut?
Alt+F1 opens the Open Windows selection screen. If you start typing then, the search bar will automatically take focus.

I tried using Quit Control for VSCode, but that doesn't do anything for an actual mouse click on the close X:
Is there a way to configure the behavior for the close button?
Whenever I open the JavaScript developer console in Google Chrome, it automatically selects a search bar that appears at the top of the window. I don't know how to disable the search bar, or otherwise make sure that it isn't automatically selected when I open it. I'd rather have the actual console preselected instead of the search bar. How can I fix this?
Thank you!
I figured it out; at some point I had enabled the filter by clicking on its button to do it (next to the "Clear Console" button). Just disabled it and it's all good now.
In the below image, the filter button is the second from the left (in between the "Clear Console" button and the "top" dropdown for Chome extensions).
I just installed Eclipse from the Android website and the dialogs have no title bar and seem to be docked at the top of the Eclipse main window. I can't find a way to move them or get the titlebar back. I'm using Gnome 3 as desktop/window manager.
For example, if I choose Search | File... from the main menu, it comes up, but without titlebar. If I press Alt+F7, I can move the entire window, but the dialog will not move relative to the window.
How do I fix this?
Thx.
You are missing an important information, your operating system and desktop environment. Let me guess? Linux/Gnome? Or Cinnamon?
Gnome has the, erm, great feature to attach modal dialogs at the main window.
You can install dconf-editor and set the key org/gnome/shell/overrides/attach-modal-dialogs to false.
In Cinnamon you can easily disable this feature in the System Settings > Windows > Attach dialog windows (may not be the actual text as I translated it from my locale). You need to switch the settings to Expert mode to see the Windows entry.
Is there any keyboard short cut in netbeans for toggling between project panel.
For example if I'm working on a laptop and sometime I need for space for see the code window and always I have to click on the project's panel to hide it.
Is there any way I can quickly hide and show that left side thing?
You can use Shift + ESCAPE to maximize the current window (e.g. the code editor).
Alternatively, right click on the editor's tab for the current file and choose "Maximize"
you can use shift+esc to hide or show your project panel.
I just found out how to have help open and the code editor open at the same time from an answer to this question: Opening Xcode help file and application at the same time
In Windows, Alt+Tab switched me back and forth to my hearts content. Here, Alt tab bring up the next open application (happens to be Firefox in my case).
How do I switch between the Xcode window and the help window?
Cmd+` and Cmd+Shift+` will switch back and forth between windows within a Mac application.
You can also use F10 to see all of the application's windows in a zoomed out view and pick one to focus with the mouse or keyboard.
