Enabling tabs in xcode? Or lessening the pain of not having them?
I am currently using xcode and I find it's lack of tabs quite disturbing. I currently use command-shift-d to search through all the files, or ctrl-1 to open the history of files that were recently opened.

How to open python source files using the IDLE shell?
If I import a module in IDLE using: import <module_name> print <module_name>.__file__ how can I open it without going through the Menu->File->Open multiple-step procedure? It would be nice to open it via a command that takes the path and outputs a separate editor like IDLE. ...
Fastest editor/ide for for TDD workflow: test > code > test?
I've found that test first development can be painful if the workflow is slow. It can take a long time to write a test, compile, run the tests, write code, compile, then run the tests again. Part of the problem is that the delays to compile and run tests to some extent interrupts my flow. When my brain has an idea, I want to be able t...
How can I make all of the IDisposable classes colored differently in the Visual Studio IDE?
Title covers it all. I'd like classes which implement IDisposable to show up in a specific color so I can know if I should wrap them in a using block. Is there a setting or a process by which you can extend the IDE? ...

The context menu does not work in Visual Studio 2005 (win7)
When I select a class, variable etc that should have a context menu in vs2005 and right click on it does not open up the context menu. I can use the context menu key on the keyboard to activate the menu but not the mouse. If I right click on any white area a context menu will show, but that does not make any sense for me i.e. there is n...

How do I get started with developing for Android without an Android phone?
More or less as it says on the tin. Before I even contemplate downloading the SDK, I was wondering if there was any way of testing Android apps that I'd write without an Android phone available to me? I'm unsure as to whether or not the tools that come with the SDK come with an emulator like VS does for Windows Mobile. Sorry if this is...
What is the most efficient way in XCode to add a delegate's or protocol's methods to the .m file?
When one Implements an Interface (equivalent to a Protocol in Objective-C) in the .Net environment, the IDE automatically adds the properties and methods that need to be implemented to the class' file. Is there a setting that will result in a similar behavior in the Xcode environment? Will it do the same for a delegate? At this point,...

Do you think VS and Intellisense make us dumber?
I read this article, the parts of "Intellisense" and "Generated Code": http://www.charlespetzold.com/etc/DoesVisualStudioRotTheMind.html Do you think the Author's is right? I don't agree that Intellisense is soooo bad for programmers. VS for C# uses to "hide" the controls' events in another file, but you can find them if you know ...
How can I disable network activity on Aptana (Eclipse IDE) until I save it to speed it up?
I'm working on a mapped network drive with Aptana. Some activity is making it very slow. Keystrokes may takes seconds to appear.

Note: This question may apply to any Eclipse variant, but...

In NetBeans IDE, is there a key combo to select up or down many lines?
I always run into this situation: cursor is on line 5 and I want to select everything down to line 16. I have to resort to shift-arrow, arrow, arrow, or use the mouse. NetBeans has "go to line" (Control-G) but you can't hold down shift while doing that, so no good for selecting. There's also "bookmarks," but same problem. Anyone know o...

Can Eclipse refresh resources automatically?
One of the things that really irks me about Eclipse is the way it deals with out-of-sync resources (files that have been edited outside of the IDE). In most IDEs I've used, only resources with editors open are considered out-of-sync. In Eclipse, all resources can go out of sync. This means that whenever I perform a search, I get an ob...
Is "implicitly imported" always a bad thing in Delphi packages?
Trying to rearrange my packages for a set of TFrame-descendent components, I'm finding it seemingly necessary to break out some of my utility TFrame descendents separate from the dialog forms which use them, mainly because the former are registered to the palette as true components and that seems to confuse the IDE sometimes with respec...
