How to make Visual Studio editor stop scrolling past bottom of a file?

In the Visual Studio editor when you pull the scroll bar down to the bottom of the file, all you see is a blank page, since the text has scrolled up past the top of the text editor window. This makes scrolling to the bottom difficult because you can't just pull the scroll bar quickly all the way down but have to carefully position the cu...

Good IDE/editor for C++ suited to my tastes

First off, I know that this question is asked a lot. I have looked at several threads and I end up being more confused than anything because usually the thread question is vague so the answers are vague as well (ex - What is a good compiler to use? - followed by a list of compilers people recommend depending on who likes what). I would...

Why can't I launch notepad++ from the command line anymore?

I'm teaching myself some Django tonight using the local dev package at instantdjango.com I made it through half the tutorial, building a basic map with points on it, then closed out of the console for a bit.

What PHP editor should I use ?

What PHP editor should I use? I now have NetBeans 6.8 (the PHP version) but it´s always freezing for a long time. I previously used version 6.7.1, but the auto scan feature rendered the editor useless for too long, like 10 min on each restart. I used Eclipse as well but had the same experience as in Netbeans. Always freezing for a lon...

"super star" or find the word under the cursor equivalent in emacs

I'm a vim user and have recently been trying out emacs for fun. I find that the feature I'm missing most so far from vim is the "super star" (find the word under the cursor by typing *) feature, and I have yet to find the equivalent in emacs.

I have searched a lot, but did not find anything useful, so I just ask. The context is Rails 2.3.x, the usual javascript libraries.

Switching focus between editor and terminal in Kate

When working in Unix with various programming languages I often use Kate as my primary editor. It has a really nice function of being able to open a built-in terminal window which is quite useful. The problem is that switching back and forth to the terminal view using a mouse is quite a pain and I can't find any shortcuts for this. Th...

AutoCompletion with the editor

I find that the autocompletion capability with the programming editor is a mixed blessing. Sometimes it anticipates correctly, or, when multiple choices might come from what is already typed, it advances to the next logical point, and typing the next expected letter moves it in the right direction. Reaaly sweet when it works right. Ho...
