Unity3D, Monodevelop stuck minimized - monodevelop

I'm not sure how it happened, but it appears to be a persistent bug. Whenever I try to launch Monodevelop by double-clicking on one of my scripts in the assets browser, Monodevelop gets launched, but remains minimized. When I attempt to restore it (by clicking on its part of the bottom bar), the state of the button changes, but Monodevelop does not appear. I've attempted to restart Unity to fix this issue, and that didn't help. Has anyone else come across this? Maybe there's a fix? Should I delete some config files so they get reset? (if so, which ones)
System: ASUS Laptop - Vista64

The solution for this is very simple, try this out.
1) Right click the application which is minimized.
2) select the "minimize" option in the list.
3) Now select the "maximize" option in the list.
4) Here the application will open(maximize)...
If you're still having problems tell me.

My keyboard shorcuts won't save (VS code)

I downloaded the last version of VS code, and since I use a Dvorak layout for typing, I changed the position of the keys of some shorcuts that come handy. It works, but every time I restart my PC, VS code don't save my changes, so I have to re-configure my shorcuts over and over, which is very annoying.
Does anyone know what may be happenging and how can I fix it?

Dual monitors in Sikuli

I'm using Sikuli (sikulixapi-1.1.0).
I have 2 monitors. When I use my primary monitor, everything is ok. When I also use the second monitor, it does not work.
I make a screenshot on the second monitor and I wrote this:
Screen s = new Screen(1);
Error
Possible cause in case you did not touch the mouse while script was
running: Mouse actions are blocked generally or by the frontmost
application. You might try to run the SikuliX stuff as admin.
You seem to be having issues with the multimoitor setup.
A similar question was asked on launchpad and can be found here:

The basic advice was "Make sure you are using the latest version of 1.1.1 in your java context"

Restart the PHPStorm debugger

The PHPStorm debugger is really amazing, but I just can't figure one thing out. How do you "Re-Start" the debugging sessions quickly?
I mean let's say I am debugging a function and I make some changes to the code. Now right now I have to
Stop the debugger (Ctrl+F2)
Go into the browser and reload the page
If i don't do step 1 then there are multiple debug sessions running in PHPStorm
So it would be really amazing if:
The old debugger closes when I refresh the page (right now it keeps running)
I.e New debugging session closes all previous ones (similar to Adobe Flex)
Is that possible?

intercepting chrome.exe causes chrome not to work

I have numerous programs that launch the current web browser on constructed HTML files, and it needs to open in a new window. Many places in the registry reference chrome.exe. There are so many it's hit or miss editing each to have "--new-window". I renamed chrome.exe to chrome_original.exe and replaced chrome.exe with a program I made. What my program does is pass command line arguments to chrome_original.exe, adding "--new-window" if not already present. A config file is read for options. For instance I can keep a log of invocations. There are times when adding "--new-window" is not appropriate, which can be determined by examining the log.
On my development machine the strategy works excellent, but on other machines it doesn't. On the other machines chrome loads, but just sits there with the wheel spinning. Does it test to see if the exe being run is chrome.exe? Why does it work on my development machine?
If chrome updates itself with a new version, putting things back like they were, when I redeploy my exe it will take care of that.
I need to get this working if anyone has an idea why chrome will just sit with the wheel spinning and not load a page. Thanks
To analyze the problem I recommend that you install Process Explorer from www.sysinternals.com.
There should be no Chrome "sitting around with the wheel spinning".
In Process Explorer find out which is the process, double click it and in the first tab in the window that opens you see the command line.
Compare it with the command line on the computer where it works.
Process Explorer gives you much more information, like for example the environment variables. I saw in the case of Firefox that Environment variables may be very relevant. For example when you start Firefox by your program and do not set the working directory correctly it may hang.
I resolved my issue. Chrome also runs as a background process, sitting in the tray, utilizing the same exe. When loaded, the exe file is not held open. Having the exe already loaded as one file name, then loading again as a different file name, no doubt causes confusion. What was already loaded needed to be unloaded, first. In addition, the auto start registry key value needed to be updated with the new exe file name.
I have yet to see what will happen when chrome updates itself automatically with a new version. There's a good chance the launching utility will be overwritten. Some tweaking will need to be done.
Using a launcher for chrome to intercept invocations works really well and is a good approach to always having a new window when one is wanted.

ctrl - ] freezes window?

I am having some issue with holding ctrl and pressing ] few times in Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio 2008.
Don't ask my why I need to do it, I don't, it's just something I tried pressing.
Each time I do it, Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio freezes up. It doesn't let me scroll, or select text.
I tried same keystrokes in Word (figuring maybe it's a microsoft-shortcut for something), but it just changes font or something of the sort.
Anyone knows what ctrl+] supposed to do in the tool? and why it would freeze up?
if your window freezes on Ctrl], just right click on your window in the system tray. i just discovered it.
i actually wanted to close my window, but surprisingly it responded on right click over the task bar window button.
Definately a bug. I encountered the error copying and pasting column names (which I always surround with []), so Ctrl + C, [, Ctrl + V, ] and I apparently held the crtl button down too long. not sure what it's supposed to do, but definately freezes. I've submitted to MS - hopefully will be resolved in their new SP...
I have had the same issue twice already. In SSMS ctrl+] is supposed to be a shortcut for navigating to the matching END statement for a BEGIN and in Visual Studio for navigating to the CLOSING curly brace for an OPENING curly brace and vice-versa.
I have used this many times without fail in SSMS and VS and it has never posed an issue before. It's still working fine on VS. However, on SSMS, it just hangs there for an eternity.
In Windows 8.1, SQL Server 2008 R2 is still causing this issue.
If you inadvertently freeze SSMS, move the mouse over the SSMS icon on the task bar. Wait for the preview window to pop up, then mouse over frozen app preview and hover/wait until windows hides all other open windows and just shows the frozen window/app on your desktop. Once it has done this, right click the app preview window. If you then switch back to SSMS, it should no longer be frozen.
