I'm running ubuntu11.04, and python3 with tkinter. I've yet to check on a windows config, but whenever I have a mainloop() running and a root window open with tkinter, I can't highlight text in text edit/ gui manager stuff. It doesn't leave me helpless, but copy/paste is a fairly integral part of my efficiency when navigating and coding. Has anyone else experienced this? Anyone know a fix?
-Cheers,
Chris
This sounds like a bug in whatever window manager you are using and/or in that specific version of ubuntu. This is a problem that hasn't been reported on any other platform, or on any other versions of linux.

It's been like a month since I started using VSCode and I like it.
However, The problem is the moment I launch the program the laptop's fans start to make relatively loud sounds so I thought because there were multiple programs running at once but after trying to launch VSCode alone the problem remains untacked.
Here's what I've tried so far:
Disabled the gpu accelartion.
Disabled all the built-in extensions except the Typescript & Javascript language features extension (I didn't install any additional extensions)
Tried clean install.
Nothing worked, But when I tried to disable Typescript & Javascript language features extension the fans started to cool down. I even checked the system monitor. The reading of CPU usage for VSCode before and after disabling the mentioned extension
It jumped from 0% to 28% to 30% to 16% and keeps bouncing between 9% and 16% for as long as the application is running.
I know it seems obvious to disable this extension and I'm good to go but I need it, I mean the whole point of me using VSCode is this extension. Did anyone run into the same problem or it's only me?
P.S: I'm using Ubuntu 18.04 LTS.
So after decades of research this guy's answer solved the problem.
All you have to do is to open VSCode then File > Preferences > Settings then type the following in the search bar typescript.disableAutomaticTypeAcquisition then check the checkbox and you're good to go.
However, autocomplete is not working for some imported packages so be aware of that.
Anyway, I opened an issue long time ago if anyone wants to follow any new updates about this topic here.
Go and give this guy's answer a thumbs up or love because he deserves it.
I'm forced to work with Eclipse (3.6) now, and i would like to re-use my favorite Sun keyboard with the left function block for cut/copy/paste/undo/find/etc (can't code without it ..).
So far i got it working with about every IDE/Editor i used, but NOT with eclipse. The keybinding manager simply ignores these keys.
Any hints? Has anybody got it working? I thought it might be related to Java, but i have other Java tools that work (freemind, for example).
Thanks,
Felix.
Ok, i found a workaround by installing "autokey" and defining some rules that send -C/V/X/Y/Z to the eclipse window.
But i'm still curious why Eclipse ignores these keycodes/keysyms, especially since autokey needs to be started now (and sometimes crashes).
(Running MATLAB 8.1.0.604 (R2013a), Mac OS 10.8.3)
When I use the doc command, for example, doc fwrite;, or when I click the "more help" item in the popup help bubble for a command, the documentation window opens, but MATLAB subsequently hangs (the spinning beachball appears). This lasts indefinitely, and I inevitably have to force quit MATLAB. This also happens when using the Publish option from the editor.
Anyone have any ideas for diagnosing this? I tried taking a process sample but I didn't see any info I could interpret, I think since it's in Java the relevant information is obfuscated behind the JVM.
See this post on MatlabCentral: http://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/71718 ... and more specifically this bug report which includes a "workaround." They don't suggest what could be the cause, but you might make sure that OS X is updated and that you have the latest version of Java. If you do other work with Java or with WebKit these might cause issues.
I hope you have already solved the problem. Otherwise a solution has been found, the bug resides in the Access for Assistive devices (only for version 2012b and later). If you can turn them all off from System Preferences, do that. If you can't, type this in the command window:
com.mathworks.mlwidgets.html.HtmlComponentFactory.setBrowserProperty('JxBrowser.BrowserType','Mozilla15');
From http://www.mathworks.com/support/bugreports/870843
I had the same problem with Matlab R2014a on OS 10.10.4. For me the solution involved disabling Cinch (a window management tool I had installed). This can be done by clicking on the Cinch icon in the menu bar then Disable Cinch, or from System Preferences > Security and Privacy > Accessibility (as MarcoB detailed in his answer).
More suitable as comments (but I don't have enough rep yet):
I just updated to Java 1.8.0_73 and to Safari 9.1 and the patch horchler posted no longer works.
MarcoB's command still works for fixing the crashes. But with this, no longer retina resolution in the Doc browser (so it looks ugly).
I would like to be able to write code by voice recognition and him currently using Aquamacs 2.4 and Dragon Dictate 2 on Mac OS X 10.6.8. Does anybody know if this is possible and if so how? I've seen shorttalk, emacs listen, and voice code but they only work on windows machines with Dragon Naturally Speaking.
Any leads would be much appreciated.
Also I am writing in R via ESS.
Have a look at this presentation by Tavis Rudd : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8SkdfdXWYaI
He runs Dragon Naturally Speaking inside a Windows VM, because the Windows version can be scripted with Python. Then the VM communicates with Emacs on his local machine.
He says in the presentation he will open source his code, but it doesn't seem to be there yet on his Github.
So yes, it's possible, but at this point there is no out of the box solution. If you really want this, prepare to invests weeks or months to get to a properly working setup.
I recently released the coding-by-voice solution I created to solve my own RSI issues. It can be found here: http://www.voicecode.io
I use it mostly for coding in Sublime Text and Xcode, but it works great with emacs or vim as well. The great thing about this solution is that all commands can be chained into "command phrases" so you don't have to pause between every individual command like you do with other voice command solutions.
It has builtin support for all standard variable-name formats (snake case, camel case, etc), has builtin commands for every permutation of keyboard shortcuts (ie command-shift-5, command-option-shift-T, and so on), has cursor movement commands, app switching commands, window switching commands, commands for symbol combos like "=>", "||", ">=", etc, and tons more. Plus it is very easy to add your own custom commands as well.
I recently upgraded to NetBeans 7.2 and am facing a substantial usability issue with floating windows. In 7.1 each floating window was minimize-able, which I used quite regularly. By all appearances the minimize button is completely gone. The button is missing and when I right click on the title bar, the close button is available but the minimize is disabled (greyed out).
I'm running windows 7 x64.
I also encountered the issue in the RC but figured that it would be resolve in the final version. I've googled around and not been able to find anyone with the same issue so I'm hoping that it is just me.
I checked out the settings under Tools > Options > Miscellaneous > Windows and none of them seem to make any difference.
How can I get the minimize floating windows functionality back?
It looks like a bug on the windows version, because I'm using the mac one and the minimize buttons are in place.
I'd go back to the previous version until they solve the bug.
In fact, at least in mac, you can have both versions installed, so you could open 7.2 from time to time and check for any updates that solved the problem.
I've found some additional info here:
https://netbeans.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=216019
Maybe you could try to do as they tell:
No minimize button means those windows are docked into editor docking spot. Use
menu Window - Reset Windows.
I am able to minimize windows in netbeans on win 7x64
