When I open a window in Visual Studio 2017, either when debugging or when I use Intellisense to view a class method definition, I find that the window is not opened in the tab well (e.g. in the screenshot, I want the green tab to be next to the yellow tab when it is opened, not far apart as it appears).
I am guessing that the settings to change will be in 'Tools' > 'Options' > 'Environment' > 'Tabs and Windows', but I am not sure which checkboxes to check to ensure that I get the behaviour I want.
Can anyone help?
It is the Preview Tab group of options:
You can uncheck Allow new files to be opened in the preview tab.

Currently with PyCharm 2016.03, when I open new file, the tab opened at the end of the tab pane.
I google and see one old post about this - it was a open right next feature in the past and changed to open at the end now.
So if you know, if possible, how to switch tab-opening mode in PyCharm, please share!
That config is no longer available (at least in the 5.0.5 Pro version). You still have tabs appearance and closing policy configs under Editor -> General -> Editor Tabs menu, but no opening policy.
As a workaround you can left-click and drag a tab in whichever position you like.
At my new job I have to work with PhpStorm. I come from Sublime Text, and what bothers me most about PhpStorm is the lack of a single click preview of the files. In stead, it opens the files for editing and adds them to active tab, leaving me with A LOT of useless tabs.
I searched here on StackOverflow and Google, but I seem to be the only one who is annoyed by this. In Sublime it goes to edit mode only after a double click. Is there a setting or plugin to have it like in Sublime?
It's a native feature these days:
Settings... / Editor / General / Editor Tabs / Opening Policy > check "Enable preview tab"
on version PhpStorm 2022.3.2
Single Click To Open File
By default to open a file in phpstorm you have to double click it. I found this to be very annoying. Luckily you can change this to be a single click.
Steps:
Click the gear icon.
Make sure 'Autoscroll to Source' is checked
Make sure 'Autoscroll from Sourcce' is checked

There is no such functionality currently available. I may only suggest to use View | Quick Definition to preview files.
Other than that: https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IDEA-130918 -- watch this ticket (star/vote/comment) to get notified on progress.
Welcome in late 2019 - we got a plugin for this now:
Plugin: https://plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/12778-quick-file-preview
Plugin Source: https://github.com/SeeSharpSoft/intellij-file-preview
IntelliJ Issue: https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IDEA-130918
Don't forget to disable the "Autoscroll to Source" Feature, to get the full advantage of the plugin!
The closest you'll get right now is to enable 'Scroll To Source', however this will actually open the file in another tab, it will not be a preview.
Open the Project, Favorites, etc. side bar (cmd + 1 or ctrl + 1)
Click the gear in the top right
Select 'Scroll to Source'
Note 'Scroll to Source' can be enabled at the same as 'Scroll from Source', just make sure if you click on one file you wait until the sidebar catches up to click another, otherwise the sidebar will autoscroll back and forth between the two. You'll have to click one of them to break that loop.

This is now available as a native feature in the latest version: 2020.3!
See this comment on the YouTrack link someone posted above https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IDEA-130918#focus=Comments-27-4500169.0-0
Also on the 2020.3 feature list under User Experience there's a mention of "preview tab" here https://blog.jetbrains.com/idea/2020/12/intellij-idea-2020-3/
I'm developing apps in Android Studio. But everytime I hit Run button, the Run tab pops up automatically from bottom with messages like Installing com.packagename etc..., Success, Launching
I've already disabled automatic displayin of Android DDMS tab (because I use DDMS from toolbar which opens new window) by editing configurations. But I can't disable this stupid automatic Run tab showing.
Is there any way to do this ?
There is no standard way of achieving this but I found an interesting workaround mentioned below and using the same.
When your run tab is opened, Instead of hiding it using right-top corner button, Drag it till it hides.
Like in picture shown below
Now Run your project run window wont appear, When you want it back click on run button in horizontal bar.
Working perfectly for me .
In case anyone still struggling with this annoying thing, there is a way to disable this annoying popup.
Note: this will remove the run tab altogether.
So basically go to your Run/Debug configuration and Uncheck Activate tool window at the bottom.
This gets rid of the Run tab.
I have a rogue blank <div> getting inserted from somewhere in my code, and it is difficult to find when it is coming in. I am using debugger; and stepping through the code, however, the step function is in the 'Sources' tab of chrome dev tools, and the 'Elements' tab has the view I need. I have two screens, and have the dev tools on one screen and the page on the other, but I need to see when the div is coming through on the HTML as I step through the code, and it is quite cumbersome to switch tabs after each click.
Is there any way to accomplish this view to troubleshoot faster (maybe a second instance of dev tools? or split the tabs?), or another suggestion? Since I don't know how it is getting generated, I can't color the div and just look for the color to come on screen...
It is still not possible to display the elements and source tabs at the same time on chrome dev tools. (Latest Chrome version: v64).
If some element is inserted to your DOM and you want to find code responsible for adding it then I suggest using more appropriate tool than debugger;. Check out "subtree modifications":
You can now right click the view tab and select "Move to bottom" so you can see both element and sources at the
Now its possible to view the element and page source in the same page.
Follow the steps below:
Open debugger or Ctrl+Shift+C
From Right corner press the "customize and control Dev tools" icon, under those option click show console drawer:
Now from the left bottom, click on the quick source option as shown in picture:
All the js files opened in sources will be seen here:
After turning on the Error List, the MS Visual Web Developer 2010 can report warning/error in the panel automatically.
However, I would like to know what I can do to trigger this validation manually rather than wait for a unpredictable period until the application starts to check.
If you go to Tools > Settings on the menu and tick Expert Settings, the menus will now have a lot more options, one of which can be found in Edit > Advanced, Validate Document which should provide what you want.
If you want to assign this a keyboard shortcut, go to Tools > Options on the menu, tick Show all Settings in the bottom left of the Options window, then navigate through the tree on the left to Environment > Keyboard. Once you've got the Keyboard Settings showing, type Edit.ValidateDocument into the "Show commands containing" textbox, change the "Use new shortcut in" drop-down to HTML Editor Design View and then click in "Press shortcut keys" and enter the shortcut key you wish to use. I suggest Shift-Alt-V as it's not assigned by default in Visual Web Developer 2010. Finally click "Assign" and then "OK"
