Visual Studio 2010: Why aren't key combinations available?

I am trying to use VS 2010 for writing C. Frequently, I try to use a hotkey combination, and I get an error message of the form: The key combination (key, key) is bound to command (Command) which is not currently available. Why is this? Examples include CTRL + R, R for Rename and CTRL + K, CTRL + D for Format Document. I am tr...

A Python IDE for Windows comparable to Visual Studio

As I look at what features I want in a programming language, I notice that many of them are more related to the development environment then the actual language, the best one I have encountered so far being Visual Studio. As I am considering Python development in the future, I would like to know of IDE's that could represent comparable ...

Is there an easier way to type and compile C on Mac OS X?

I've just started learning C on Mac OS X. I have downloaded Xcode too. So far, I have been typing my apps into TextEdit, and then using the Terminal to locate my apps and compile them using gcc hello.c etc. Is there an easier way (using Xcode perhaps?) to type my code into some form of IDE, and then automate the compiling with a 'compi...

Dev server for Java, like VS has for .NET?

Hello, I am on a Java learning spree recently, however I am normally a .NET developer. (So please forgive my newbie questions.) In .Net I can develop ASP.Net pages without using IIS, as it has a watered down web server (Cassini, I think it's called). Does Java or a Java IDE have something similar so I can write and test JSP and Java S...

Are there any ide's out there with good support for vim/vi bindings?

Finding vim plugin maintenance and configuring is too laborious and relies on external configurations (such as ruby) tricky. What I want is an IDE like Eclipse, Visual Studio, that I can use vim in. I still want to be able to use different modes (command, visual, insert), but I don't want these inbuilt commands to conflict with the IDE'...

Visual Studio: Equivalent of Eclipse's variable movement?

Developing Java with Eclipse, it's easy to move variables from one class to another, and have the references be updated. (So if you move size from being a class variable to a class named Constants, every reference to size in the original class will be replaced by Constants.size automatically.) Is there a way to do this in C# XNA Visual ...

How can I get Eclipse to scroll past the bottom of the document?

When I scroll to the bottom of an open document in the Eclipse editor, the last line is at the bottom of the file. This is a tad annoying when editing code at the bottom of the file / screen. How can I enable Eclipse to scroll (much like Vim or VS) down far enough that the last line of code reaches the top of the editor window? I'm as...

External Exception EEFFACE in Delphi

While debugging my application with Delphi 2009, I sometimes get the following exception occurring: This only happens occasionally, but after pressing OK, then my IDE and program both may freeze. If I am lucky I can sometimes do a File/SaveAll in Delphi, but sometimes I can't. Either way I am stuck and then the only thing I can do is ...

Proper alternative for the unreliable Search and Replace of Visual Studio?

Today I was actually wondering why I've stuck with it for so many years without actively complaining about it. Doing a "search & replace in all files and folders of a solution" is something I quite regularly need to do, esp. when refactoring tools fail me. Unfortunately, "all folders and files" means "some projects and some other files"....

Project will not start in debug mode.

I'm using VS2008, and I have a project that will not start when I press F5 or when I click the little green triangle in the toolbar. The screen flickers once, like the project is going to run, and then it doesn't. The build message claims the build was successful, but the project won't start. In the Configuration Manager, my 'Active s...

Netbeans Ruby on rails autocomplete does not work as expected

I am using Netbeans v6.8 on Ubuntu 9.10 for Ruby on Rails development. My problem is that autocomplete works very inconsistently. For example, when I hit ctrl+space after typing "File.", I get all the methods neatly defined at the top in bold that can be called on the class. This list is demarcated and followed by all the other hundreds...

Require() and include() not working in Eclipse for code assist and autocomplete

I just started using Eclipse PHP. I finally figured out how to turn on auto complete code assist. My problem is that when I use require or include, those variables in those files aren't showing up. Example, code1.php <? $test = 'hi'; ?> code2.php <? require('code1.php'); ?> When I am editing code2.php, $test variable doesn't sh...

Eclipse: How can I make Ctrl+F11 work no matter which file is being edited?

Ctrl+F11 is the "Run" keyboard shortcut in Eclipse. But for me, that only works if a Main class is active in the editor. For any of the other 100+ java files in my workspace, eclipse pops up a dialog, complaining "Editor does not contain a main type". This makes the Ctrl+F11 shortcut nearly useless. I either have to press Ctrl+Alt+T, n...

Configure Eclipse to use VS.Net shortcuts?

I've started doing some Python Programming using Eclipse. However, I'm a .Net programmer and I'm use to the keyboard shortcuts in VS.Net 2008. Is there any quick way to reconfigure VS.Net to use the visual studio shortcuts. I've found this other question, but the suggested methods don't work. I've installed CDT and selected the Visua...

Is there a PHP IDE that can handle Magento's code base?

Magento has a large code base (6000+ php files), uses a complex autoloading logic, and has a lot of configuration in XML. I'm looking for an IDE that can get it's little brain around this code base - show me where a function is declared, where it's called, etc. Is there any IDE that can handle this beast? EDIT - Adding examples Here...

Using Eclipse for C programming?

I want to examine and modify some open source programs written in C. Is it sensible to use Eclipse for this purpose? If so, what plugins should I add? What "gotchas" should I be aware of? If not, what FOSS C IDEs do you recommend for coding C on a linux box? Emacs, while undeniably powerful, is not to my taste (I'm more a mouser than a...

Eclipse won't check for errors in my code (JEE)

I have been trying to use Spring in my JEE projects and while everything will compile just fine for some reason Eclipse just refuses to do any sort of live error checking like it normally does. you know like underlining a line of code that is totally wrong for ex: System.BananaBoat.SetSail(); Obviously this class doesn't exist but Ecl...
