I develop plugin for eclipse, which marks some location in files. Also, user must have ability to do some actions with this markers, something like this list of actions in spellchecker:

but the only realization i've found is http://wiki.eclipse.org/FAQ_How_do_I_implement_Quick_Fixes_for_my_own_language%3F
which implements quick fixes list which looks more like autocompletion list (screenshot is in article above).
So how i can implement list of quick fixes, which will be shown in marker's tooltip? This must work in any editor, or at least in CDT's editor and default text editor in eclipse.
The Eclipse Wiki article you reference is the correct way to add quick fixes. The quick fixes are associated with markers which may appear in your editor (if they are associated with a resource and line number).
There are several ways markers and their quick fixes are visible. In the java editor, markers by default appear highlighted with an icon in the ruler. Clicking on the icon, hitting ctrl+1 while editing that line, or hovering over the marker will open a popup with quickfixes.
Markers are also visible in the problems view. Similarly you can use the context menu or Ctrl+1 to open possble quickfixes.

I want to remove this suggestion in VS Code which comes on hover, as it disrupts my scrolling.
That area of the UI is called the explorer. What you're seeing is generally called a "tooltip" in UI terminology. Looking through the available settings at the time of this writing, I do not see a setting to disable tooltips for the explorer listitems.
I looked through settings containing "tooltip" and ones starting with explorer. and workbench.list. and didn't find such a configuration point.
If you open the developer tools with the Developer: Toggle Developer Tools command, you'll see that that particular tooltip is just implmeneted with the HTML title attribute. The way that it is rendered is up to the browser, which in this case is chromium, and the particular style it appears in differs by platform / OS.
You might be able to write an extension that removes those title attributes.
How do I get rid of this toolbar shown in the picture? I fatfingered some keys and now I can't get rid of it, primarily because I'm not 100% sure what it is...
This is in the normal Java perspective. I've tried resetting the perspective, but that didn't work.
The annoying toolbar you're describing is called the Java Editor Breadcrumb (see Eclipse documentation)
It can be disabled by pressing Ctrl + 3 and toggling Java Editor Breadcrumb
That's the breadcrumb bar. It shows the details of the location of the class you're currently editing. It's useful to quickly see if you're editing the correct class, and you can use it to navigate to other locations in your project as well.
If you want to turn it off click this button in the toolbar:
I find Eclipse's (Eclipse 3.7, Indigo, running under Mac OS X 10.6.8) Find/Replace floating dialog box to be very annoying. Part of the time it ends up obscuring the search results. Is there any way to have Eclipse move the Find/Replace somewhere else? I'd like it to be a pop-up view, as I often do with the Console, Servers, Outline, and other views. However, if it could be incorporated into the view which it's searching, that would be great, too.
Eclipse's Find / Replace dialog is a dialog, not a view, so you can't drag and drop it to one of the view areas.
Here's a Eclipse search plugin that might work for you. Scroll all the way to the bottom of the page to get the Software Update link.
Worst case, you could write your own Eclipse plug-in that creates a view that does a Find / Replace.
TL;DR
Find/replace cannot be used as a view. Here are two ways to find text without obstructing the search:
Use incremental search (CTRL+J)
Use the quick search plugin (CTRL+SHIFT+L)
Pros and cons
Both approaches behave differently from the traditional find/replace and may require some getting used to.
Approach 1.
It works out of the box, no need to install a plugin, but it (currently) does not support pasting nor searching for the current selection (but there is CTRL+K for the latter). You can use UP and DOWN or repeat CTRL+J or CTRL+SHIFT+J to jump between matches.
Approach 2.
This still opens a dialog, but one which integrates the search results rather than obscuring them. I suggest resizing it to have a good preview size.
The default shortcut shadows the "Show Key Assist" original, but this can be changed. It is an extra install and AFAIK only supports case sensitive searches, but it supports searching for the selection and pasting.
It shows matches across files, starting with the top open editor (if you have more than one visible, e.g. side by side, it sometimes does not start with the one you were last on). You can move between matches with UP and DOWN and hit enter to go back to the editor on the selected match.
NOTE
I suppose on OSX you can replace CTRL with CMD in keyboard shortcuts above to achieve the same, but I could not test it. The shortcuts can be customized in Preferences->General->Keys
Eclipse has something like this showing you the outlines of method declarations, imports, variables...
Is there something similar in Visual Studio 2010? I can't seem to find it.
Another thing is the context menu dropdowns.
In Visual Studio, I have to click on the underlined word:
And wait for that little blue underscore to pop up then I have to carefully hover over it like so:
for the drop down menu to pop up. Then I have to click on it to bring up the options.
In Eclipse I can hover over the underlined word and get the options about half a sec later OR hover over it and press F2 immediately to get the options.
Does anyone know if such features are available in VS2010?
For your first question, there is a window called "Class View" that may be similar to what you want. You can access it via CtrlWC.
For your second question, if your cursor is on the identifier that is underlined, you can type either of the following in order to open that same context menu:
Ctrl. (that's a period or dot)
AltShiftF10
I miss a certain functionality in Eclipse. I would like to know the name of the current function the cursor is currently inside. This is useful when browsing unknown code using the search function, for example.
Any idea how to show it? Maybe a plugin?
I'm using the "Toggle Breadcrumb" option from toolbar:
It shows a nice breadcrumb, ending with current function name.
It's quite handy for me, as Outline becomes cumbersome to use if you have zilions of functions.
It produces the following structure above your Java Editor (truncated at the picture below):
The "Outline" view shows the current function.
It may be necessary to enable the 'Link to Editor' option in the Outline View dropdown menu. This might be off by default for CDT.
I was looking for something similar (Xcode-like bar at the top showing the current function, where you can also go to another function by clicking on it to open a popup list of functions). Here is what I settled on with Eclipse 3.5.1 CDT:
I moved the Outline view to the top, resized it to make it a 1-line horizontal strip (don't make it too narrow), and selected "Link With Editor" in its menu, so that it always shows the current function. However, this doesn't open a popup list like Xcode. For that functionality, I assigned a shortcut to the "Show Outline" command which does open a popup list of all functions.
The Eclipse function 'show outline' will pop up a list of outline objects, and it will highlight the object your cursor is inside in grey. It's typically bound to 'ctrl-o' (the letter 'o', not zero), but you can re-bind it as you see fit. I'm running Eclipse with the CDT plugin and it works pretty well for me.
To enable the breadcrumb invoke Toggle Java Editor Breadcrumb in the toolbar or press Alt+Shift+B in the Java editor.
You can also display the Quick Outline (ctrl+o). This way you see the context quickly without having to have a permanent Outline Window linked to the Editor.
Use the "Link With Editor" option on the outline menu
Press Ctrl+o (cursor is currently inside a function at a particular line).
It highlights the current method, or name of the class if the cursor is outside the method body.
You can click on highlighted method.
It has got inline search feature ...start typing name of the method to navigate to the specified method or method with matching search pattern.
If you press again Ctrl+o to shows the inherited members/methods.
Using outline with "link with editor" option worked also for me, thanks!
Just an addition, you can move outline pane in to the same window group as search, progress etc. saves the space in your perspective instead of keeping it at another group.
