How do I enable right-click (control-click) context menus in MonoDevelop? - monodevelop

Right Click (or control-click since I'm on a Mac) doesn't bring up the context menus for Solution or Projects.
For instance, in Visual Studio I would right click on a Solution to add a new project to the solution. I've looked all through the menu and can't find the add project command.
Also, how do I add a folder to a project? Again, this would be available from the right-click menu in VS, but I can't find it anywhere in MonoDevelop.
Control-click doesn't do anything for me in any part of MD. Not even in the text editor. Is there a setting to get it to behave the way I'm expecting it to?
Shouldn't these options also be available via the main menu also?

Apparently this was a known issue and has been fixed. It was a bug in the gtk+ library. Single button mice weren't supported.

Still not sure why I'm seeing this bug now on my OSX 10.6.4 machine running the latest download of MonoDevelop.
Plugging in a 2-button mouse is an adequate work-around. I can right click and get the context menus I was looking for.

These features are where you would expect to find them, exactly where you said. The solution context menu contains Add > Add new project and the project context menu has Add > New folder
I'm on a macbook so I get to use the old double-finger tap, rather than CTRL+Clicking all the time. Not sure why the CTRL+Click is not working for you.
EDIT:
Control-Click anywhere in the solution explorer seems to bring up a context-sensitive context menu. Control-Click whilst solution is selected brings up the solution context menu and if a project is selected, the project context menu.

Control + click doesn't work but a two finger touch brings up the context menus on my Macbook Pro. Check your "Trackpad" settings in system preferences to see how you have secondary click setup on your mac.

Bin Icon is Gone From the Panel in Visual Studio Code

In Visual Studio Code, there was previously a trash image (icon) in the panel section. When I clicked on it the terminal was clearing. But it no longer exists. I changed accidently panel settings. For solving, I clearing settings.json folder but still same. Why does it never revert back to its old settings?
The Trash-bin Icon is Still Very Much Present in Your Editor
"The other solutions here, though no wrong in what they say, are not good solutions. The icon is still present if you know where to look, and you didn't accidentally change your settings. In the last VSCode update — "the May-2021 Update (v1.57.1)" — the VS-Code team added support for the new feature, "Terminal Tabs", which does more than add terminal-tabs, it offers users an entire new UI to use. It also switched the configurations of millions of unexpected VSCode users, so that the new UI was auto-equipped. In all fairness you are not the first person to wonder where the "Trash-bin Icon" went. I answered another question, 2 weeks ago, asking about the drop-down that is no longer visible."
You have two options available to you.
You can, keep the new UI the way it is, and below is a picture that shows where the new terminal tab trash-bin icon is.
Or you can switch back to the old UI using the setting bellow:
terminal.integrated.tabs.enabled: (true/false)
Image shows "terminal.integrated.tabs.enabled": false, and where the trash icon is. It is important to note that the icon auto hides, and one must scroll over it before it reveals itself.
Image shows "terminal.integrated.tabs.enabled": true, and where the trash icon is located using the old UI. I think its fair to note, the new UI was created to make VSCode better. People use to download extensions to get the same terminal tabs that the new UI offers.

ArcMap editor panel window not opening

I have installed ArcMap Desktop 10.5.1 on a new computer and have a problem. I have never experienced with any previous versions of ArcMap.
Pressing the button of the toolbar for the Editor
I can’t access the toolbar.
I also can see that the program notices that I have pressed the button by the ArcMap-window ‘flickering’ and I see the Editor-window that should open for less than a second at some occasions.
I have tried to see if it ends up hidden somewhere, but it does not seems like it.
Printscreen of the ArcMap window with the editor button
Does anyone know what can be the problem and how to handle it?
I have tried to search for answers both at the ESRI help-page, here in stackoverflow and in other broad search engines, but this doesn’t seem to be a common problem.
This problem can have many causes and there are 2 different ways to open the editor toolbar.
Try click Customize > Toolbars > Editor (I will add a pic for it)
Right-click while your mouse on the main menu. The toolbar will be open directly and check the editor. Same solution.
If you have still this problem you must see another reason for the problem.
For example, do you using a second monitor? If you using it maybe the editor toolbar coming from another monitor. Check your monitor/monitors also.
If you still have problems, please write. There is another solution.
However, I am not writing now because it will reset usage of interface.

PhpStorm - Highlight active file in project navigator

Does anyone know how to highlight the current file in the project navigator, or a hotkey to expand folders to the active file?
I have looked around and couldn't find anything that points to this as an option.
Here is a nice feature: Autoscroll to Source and Autoscroll from Source.
It is available in all IntelliJ products .
On Demand
Should be used if you do not like when your Project View panel gets changed/moves without your consent.
Navigate | Select in... | Project View
Alt+F1, 1 for Windows/Linux
⌥+F1, 1 (or fn+⌥ Opt+F1, 1) for Mac OS
You may also click on "target like" icon on actual Project View panel with your mouse:
If you wish to use shorter/single shortcut instead of standard 2-step shortcut:
install "Extra Actions" plugin
assign custom shortcut to newly provided "Select in Project" action
As of some 2017.x version (or maybe even 2016.x) the IDE has own dedicated Select in Project View action (so no need for additional plugin). You can find it in Keymap under the Other branch (hint: use search box to narrow the list).
Automatically
Can be used if you do not mind (or even want) to have Project View panel keep focused on currently edited file (so it scrolls/moves up and down/expands when needed).
NOTE: with frequently switching between the files (e.g. CSS & HTML) when you have a lot of files in your project such "scrolling" may become quite annoying pretty fast (especially if such files are located in the invisible-right-now part of the project tree).
Activate Autoscroll from Source option in Project View panel (right click on tool window header bar/title or use menu under "gear" icon):
In modern versions (2020.3 and newer) that option was renamed and is now called Always Select Opened File:
Just click the circular icon (with tooltip Scroll from Source) to navigate in the project directory tree and highlight the corresponding active file in the PhpStorm editor.
On PhpStorm 2020.3 you have to click the cog icon in the project pane and select Always Select Opened Files:
The above answers are all valid but unfortunately you'll have to enable them for each project.
There's a plugin from Jetbrains that will enable this behaviour by default for all new projects.

Eclipse Juno navigation of opened tabs with arrows

I've recently upgraded to Juno from Indigo. All it's ok but I can't find how to navigate trough opened tabs with arrows (example image http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/542/img2ri.jpg/) instead of the list (example image http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/155/img1nh.jpg/).
Anyone knows how to restore this functionality?
This in reality was a mistake, the arrows to navigate between tabs are provided by the plugin Extended VS Presentation which unfortunately isn't available in Eclipse Juno. I've tried to install it, but the modification does not take effect because the new Eclipse uses a different render engine. :(

How do you get Monodevelop back to using English for its language

I have no idea how it happened, but suddenly when I launch Monodevelop, the menus appear in a language other than English. I have tried reinstalling the application as well as manually removing artifacts in other directories under Library. No luck. After a reinstall, it loads in another language still.
You can change the Language under the options/preferences dialog.
For me the shortcut keystroke is 'command + comma'
Or it is the third menu entry under MonoDevelop menu.
Select the first child entry in the left tree view. "Visual Style"
On the right there are three tabs across the top. Select the first. "General"
The "User Interface Language" setting is the second combo box on that screen.
Change that and click OK at the bottom of the screen. Should be on the right.
Restart MonoDevelop.
Can you please open a bug on https://bugzilla.xamarin.com, including the Version Info from MD's about dialog, and attach your preferences file "~/Library/Preferences/MonoDevelop-2.8/MonoDevelopProperties.xml"?
