It seems possible to open a subfolder in VS Code, but when you try to open the exact same folder twice, VS Code just refuses to open it. I guess they want you to workaround the issues with tabs and split editors.

I simply expand the Obsidian window to cover two monitors. If I had the Terry Pratchett set-up, I could imagine having it across 4, or even 6. This gives the option for a lot of panes, many quite large.

The representation of the local and global graph is inconvenient to use now, because in a small window, the signatures of the nodes overlap each other. If the graph window could be brought out separately, then this would make it possible to increase the scale and thus increase the readability of the graph.

First of all, what do you mean when you're saying "access to Windows"?If you want to run Win app under linux, you can try to install some virtualisation, like VMWare or Xen, and within Xen you can install Windows - but still - your hardware must be powerful enough.

If your machine is powerful enough you could install something like VMware ESX as main OS, which is only host to other VMs. (I don't know if ESX is free or if you can get something similar for free.) You can then install Ubuntu and Windows next to each other and run both at the same time. This is done all the time in the cloud with AWS and Azure.

Still you need a tool like Remote Desktop or VNC to access one or the other OS. I don't know how it will work out on a desktop, and I don't think this is a good solution for you, more meant for big companies and cloud hosting. Virtualbox is the way to go.

You can access your windows partition from Ubuntu without booting to windows. You simply need to set the attributes to allow it to be shared. You can do this either from windows or from Ubuntu so long as you are the administrator when you do it.

Seems like there is a problem with assigning shortcuts using system settings. When I assign between windows of the same application to Alt + Tab, it still switches between different applications. No idea what's going on.

UPDATE: The problem is fixed.I've been changing different settings of my keyboard, and one of the settings changed was XKBMODEL. I set it to "latitude" (thought it would fit better, that was really stupid). After I changed it back to "pc104", everything worked normally again.Thanks everybody for your attention!

UPDATE 3: Seems like I have got the same problem with "Switch between windows of the same application immediately" (which is Alt + Esc by default). It doesn't work, and assigning it to another shortcut doesn't help. Any suggestions?

I often use the Cmd+Tab shortcut to switch between different applications (for example: Xcode and Google Chrome), but is there a shortcut to switch between different windows of the same application (for example, from one window in Google Chrome, to another)?

So I have found that sometimes certain applications do not want to cycle through the different open windows using Cmd+Tab or Cmd+' - VMware is one example, especially when one of the windows has been minimized to the dock. So what I have found is using expose to view all windows helps - there is a mouse gesture for this which is a four finger clinch I think - or F3.
Then you can select which window you want to view.

This question does not appear to be about a specific programming problem, a software algorithm, or software tools primarily used by programmers. If you believe the question would be on-topic on another Stack Exchange site, you can leave a comment to explain where the question may be able to be answered.

I would have expected this to be a very simple task: switching between windows of the same application, but I can't seem to find the shortcut to do it. I generally have several windows of applications like Chrome (each window holding all the tabs related to a particular topic).

I am looking for a way to switch between two open windows of the same app with a key shortcut, I have found this but it is not open source and I don't trust it even works. Does anyone has an alternative ? This is OOTB in Unity and Mac OS it is absurd that Windows doesn't have it.

Note that in 2nd and 3rd options if n is specified such that no window of that program is already open, windows will open a new window. This effect can also be acheived by pressing Win + shift + n, regardless of if windows of that app were already open or not.

After installing AutoHotKey, put the above text in a .ahk file anddouble-click it to test. You may stop the script by right-click onthe green H icon in the traybar and choosing Exit. To have it run on login,place it in the Startup group at
C:\Users\USER-NAME\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup.

I've modified ahk script in order to have an Ubuntu style switching. Pressing ` while holding an alt key will cycle through all application windows putting the next one on top rather than sending top window to the bottom. And single alt + ` combinations will cycle between last two windows.

I couldn't get any of these answers to do quite what I wanted so I took inspiration from jenda's solution and wrote my own AHK V2 script. I really like the way Mac handles this functionality so I tried to mimic that behaviour as closely as possible.

I've implemented a script using AutoHotkey v2 which does what Ubuntu can do out of the box: switch between windows of the current app by pressing Alt+; (which is what the key in the top left corner types by default on my keyboard layout; you will probably want to adjust for yourself).
It counts with multiple presses so works even in cases there are multiple windows of the app, not just two. Feel free to use, PRs for improving welcome :-D

This script listens for Alt+` and converts it to an Alt+Tab after filtering the windows seen by the task switcher, by setting an attribute on the windows. When you release Alt, it unfilters the windows by removing the attribute.

I am doing a web series on UI and recording the whole design process. I wondered if there was an option to have the same file open in two separate windows. One for recording without all the zooming and panning around going on like you do in photoshop, affinity products etc? Thanks.

For the current behavior you can also use the arrow keys to navigate to the other windows vice the mouse.
or
Hit the Super key and select the window you want to go to.
or
Hit Alt + Esc and it will directly switch windows.

The trick is placing the new window in the infill wall, not the existing wall. You can use a smaller window so that it is easier. When done, you can change the window to the correct size and relocate it to the correct location and it will cut out both the infill and the existing wall correctly.

Using Revit 2022 I still have same bugs when infill walls that supposed to be cut are showing up. Then when moving the window up and back down cuts the infill. Then it shows up again randomly when I change other windows. Sometimes it throws an "family is not cutting anything" error, because infill is disappeared. Basically this is another BUG...

For example. I have two monitors. I launch PS on monitor 1. Then i drag it to the 2nd monitor. When i press ctrl+L for levels (or any other), that levels dialog box opens on the 1st monitor. Once i drag that levels box to the 2nd monitor, it stays there, but every other is still off screen and i have to drag them as well one-by-one.

It's hard to imagine how that would work. How would this be implemented with two displays of very different resolution, like one 4K and one 2K or less? That's a very common scenario. Even if that doesn't apply to you, any practical implementation would have to accommodate this.

Besides, I suspect this is determined by the operating system, not the application. Opening a dialog where it was last closed is something of a paradigm on Windows at least. It's just something we all expect and take for granted. Do you know of any applications that behave this way?

Some programs do work like that. I had think very hard and open up some programs just to confirm, because when it woks, then you don't notice that. It feels natural and behavior is totally expected. But you only notice that when it does not work as you might expect.

Here are few... Allegorithmic products, Foundry Mari. Every dialog box stays on the same screen. Probably there is more, but i guess there's no point to make long list of those. In fact, in my experience only Adobe and Autodesk programs behave in the other way.

I don't know.. maybe a button that says "make this my main display" does the trick or open shortkey-ed dialog boxes next to your cursor. Or if you have dragged one box to another display, then the next one opens at the same place. Most of the time you would want next dialog box to be opened at the same spot where the last one was. I can't even think of any other scenarios when this is not the case. Krita (free PS alternative in some extent) and Affinity seems to have it with filter boxes, other ones appear always on-screen.

This isn't true at all, because Windows manages applications scaling just fine. I have a 4k display as my main display, and I have a 22" 1080p Pen Tablet display for drawing.

When you drag photoshop or any diaglogue box to the other window the window is scaled down to the correct scaling for that resolution. So scaling like that wouldn't need to be implemented.

Every other application opens up dialogue boxes, and warning boxes etc. on the same window as the original application window, in fact they tend to open all those warning central to the main window. Even windows apps, like explorer, so it's not as if it's an odd function, or non standard. If you have multiple displays and open up an explorer window in each, and then try to delete a folder or file, the confirmation dialogue box opens in the centre of the explorer window you're deleting in. So why is that Adobe cannot do this. Why do they open on the "main" or "default" display, when the original window is not. It's silly, non standard and shouldn't work like that in the first instance. I agree that the same dialogue box will open up where ever it was closed last, but that should happen after it's closed for the first time, and should in the first instance open up central to the original window. And not like adobe open up on the main display, every time I start an adobe program.
