I just downloaded the new version of Notepad++ and I am finding that it is making my Python code edits incompatible with old code due to using spaces instead of tabs. Can I set Notepad++ to use tabs not spaces?
My chrome browser is zoomed in for no reason. I tried added /high-dpi-support=1 /force-device-scale-factor=1 at the end of C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe however I am getting an error saying high-dpi-support=1 /force-device-scale-factor=1 in the target box is not valid. Make sure the path and file name is correct.
If your target is not valid, you probably forgot the quotes when using a path containing spaces (like program files) and the slashes:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe" /high-dpi-support=1 /force-device-scale-factor=1
Zooming out is just a workaround - not a solution !
I had the problem too, and I tried those solutions listed on this site:
http://techdows.com/2016/10/fix-chrome-54-looks-zoomed-in.html
However, I could not set the compatibility mode since all options are greyed out (probably company policy) and so I had to use the command line option.
Using both /high-dpi-support=1 and /force-device-scale-factor=1 did not work, my guess is that I am using a laptop and the default DPI level is set to 125 in Windows 10. If set to 100, most programs were too small to use.
Using only /force-device-scale-factor=1 worked for me (keeping my 125 DPI in Windows and 100% Zoom level in Chrome)
Recently, I am also facing the same problem when updating the latest version of google chrome. Do it again because this the only solution.
Delete your old shortcut code and create latest version shortcut code. And Follow this steps.
For Chrome:
Right Click the chrome icon or chrome shortcut icon, go to the
properties.
Then in the "Target:" field, Click the field and press end button.
Now you are seen this "chrome.exe" at the end.
copy this text : chrome.exe" /high-dpi-support=1
/force-device-scale-factor=1 and paste on chrome.exe"
Then Restart chrome or close the browser and double click the
shortcut icon.
For Firefox: here
I have been having the same problem thanks to the most recent Chrome update, tried a number of solutions but nothing worked, so looked for a way to go back to the previous version - which I have done an now everything is back to normal :)
So the insructions to roll back to a previous version can be found here: https://productforums.google.com/forum/#!topic/chrome/UFSYuIr1-80
However they are a bit long winded, so here is what I did.
Go Chrome's file location, should be something like C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application.
Once there you should hopefully see a folder containing the previous version of Chrome - it should be something like 53.0.2785.143.
However, what's missing is the Chrome.exe, so we will need to get hold of this by downloading the older version of chrome again.
To do that you will need to go to this website http://www.chrome-portable.com/index.php/google-chrome-offline-installer and download the corrosponding installer, in my case i clicked on the link for the 53.0.2785.143 32-bit version.
Once it downloaded, right click on it and use WinRar (or similar) to 'extract here" - once extracted you should be left with another compressed file called "chrome". Again click on it and choose "extract here". This time you should get a file called "Chrome-bin".
Look inside "Chrome-bin" and you should see chrome.exe, now all you need to do is copy chrome.exe back to your older version folder (from step 2).
Double click on your newly copied chrome.exe and all going well Chrome should open back to how it was!
One final step, you will need to copy the entire 53.0.2785.143 folder to somewhere safe, other wise chrome will overwrite it again as it updates.
NOTE: So what you now have is two versions of chrome, the older version, version 53, which should look fine. And you have an the most recent version, version 54, of chrome which will continue to update etc. Any bookmarks you have will still point to the current version 54 chrome, so you will need to create new bookmarks pointing back to the old one!
Hope this helps, as I said I just followed the instructions in the link at the top of my post.
Good luck!
You can fix it by Holding ctrl and scrolling back
Or hold ctrl and press -
You could also change it in settings
Open Google Chrome.
Click Customize and Control Google Chrome >
Settings.
Click on "Show advanced settings" and scroll to the "Web
Content" section.
Use the menu next to "Page Zoom" to make your
selection:
Here is how to do it in the registry:
Add --force-device-scale-factor=1 to the registry keys
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\ChromeHTML\shell\open\command
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Applications\chrome.exe\shell\open\command
Note: The first key may be reset sometimes. I assume this happens with either a Chrome or Windows update; I can't tell.
I'm new to bootstrap. I want to use the bootstrap on my previous project. But once I included the bootstrap.min.css it failed, while it can work fine if I create a new html from scratch.
I've uploaded the sample files in GitHub: https://github.com/kid551/toolbox/tree/master/bootstrapSameFiles . You can check that the test.htm and test2.htm are the same files but they will display differently like this:
test.htm:
=============================
=============================
test2.htm:
=============================
=============================
I think you can rebuild this issue by directly downloading from GitHub.
I don't know why it happens and how I fixed this.
Thanks.
You're running into some encoding issues. Even though your code base seems to be the same - it isn't. Let me show you visually.
The moment I switch from UTF-8 to UTF-16 BE, your working versions (test.htm) code gets cryptic, while the other one seems to be pretty well working.
test.htm (UTF-16 BE)
test2.htm (UTF-16 BE)
So eventually you might have copied your code from somewhere else or even used a wrong encoding.
EDIT
You can test that with any editor which is able to show you some code. Just try to delete a linebreak by hitting backspace at the first index of a row. You'll notice on almost every row that you're not deleting the linebreak but an 'invisible character' instead. So that again means, you're just not able to see those charecters your editor is not able to encode properly.
I have downloaded your source from the GIT. You are right both are similar but there is something wrong with the test2.htm file. I have NetBeans installed on my local. When I open test2 file its showing source as empty in NetBeans.But if I open the same file using notepad++ it's showing the source. So maybe file is corrupted. What I suggest is try to create the new file or use NetBeans. After saving using NetBeans its displaying same as test.html
Something recently changed on my Chrome Dev Tool, but I'm not sure what it was. Generally, after debugging in Chrome, I copy my updated code and paste it into Notepad++. Recently the indention changed from 4 spaces to 2. At first I thought, "I'll just change the indention length in Notepad++", but then it makes my HTML harder to read.
I messed with the tab indent options in the Dev Tool settings, but it didn't fix my issue. I tried both "Detect Indention" On & Off and different spacings for "Default Indention". Please help!
Currently, when editing HTML files, I preview them using the following mapping: nnoremap cc :w <CR> :!open -a /Applications/Google\ Chrome.app %<CR><CR>. However, this always opens up a new tab. Is there any way of mapping such that a new tab is only opened if the currently edited HTML file has not been opened in your browser yet, and refreshes the page in which your HTML file has been loaded otherwise? Thanks.
There is AFAIK no way to tell Chrome to refresh the current tab from the outside.
But, you can try one of the many extensions that provide automatic reloading:
LiveReload
That one never worked for me and requires too much fiddling.
Tincr
That one used to be fantastic but suddenly stopped working a few Chrome versions ago. Worth following, though.
LivePage
That one has a simpler design than the two above. It has been working perfectly for me as a replacement for Tincr
You can also deal with the situation from the other end with Prepros, a great HTML/CSS/JS preprocessor that, among many other useful features, does live preview.
Due to various reasons I'm unable to use Prepros everywhere so my current workflow involves Koala for the pre-processing — which runs everywhere I need it to run —, LivePage for live refresh and… no mapping in Vim.
--- edit ---
Your question is about Chrome, but I thought it would be useful to also mention Auto Reload, a Firefox extension similar to the ones listed above that works beautifully.
