Currently when I start my Atom editor GUI (v1.60.0 x64) on Windows 10, I get this screen (warning: red circles added for explanation purpose):
I need to clic 4 times (on the red circles shown in the picute above) to obtain this clean screen:
Is there a way to obtain this screen directly at startup?
Not a complete solution but...
Uncheck the "Show Welcome Guide when opening Atom" checkbox and it will stop the "Welcome" and "Welcome Guide" tabs opening, also submit Telemetry Consent preferences and it will prevent the 3rd tab opening.
You will still need to hide the project pane but 1 click is better than 4 isn't it?

I am a recent Access 2010 user from 2003 (don't judge me), but I have having a major problem with the ribbon not working as a reasonable person might expect. I'm stuck having to constantly switch to the File tab to get the right options to enable or display which is extremely annoying. What is the problem here?
(Sorry this is my first post and I do not have enough cred to embed pictures)
Issue 1
When I open a query in design mode, the ribbon opens with almost all the options disabled
http://i.imgur.com/hbNtGUX.png
Select, Make, Append, Update, Delete queries all look like this when I design them. I have to click on the File tab, then back to Design to get the full breadth of options.
For macros, the Design tab shows those options but they are all disabled. I have to switch to File and back to get them to enable.
Issue 2
If I click the grid to preview results, the ribbon does switch to show all the proper table view options. This is good! It is what I would expect.
Unfortunately, when I go back into design view, the ribbon stays in the same configuration only it disables most of the table view options. That makes since since I'm looking at the design and they don't apply, BUT it should be showing me design options instead. Notice that the design tab doesn't even show up

Again, I have to click on File, then Home before it puts me back into the Design tab with the full breadth of options.
Edit: Version: 14.0.7106.5001 (32-bit)
Access was already at SP2 version, but I did notice that windows update wanted a restart. The log show 7 office & access updates installed. The version number in access didn't change but now the ribbon behaves normally. I had restarted previously so I believe the issue was resolved with the recent office updates and a restart.
I'm working on a web application and I want to make it easy to use via screen reader.
Testing stuff in JAWS is time consuming.
Is it possible to make JAWS display text instead of reading it?
I don't want actually to hear the content during development.
I just want to see what would be read by JAWS.
There is no speech viewer for Jaws, as far as I know. However, you can make it write all speech output to a log file using the "/z" switch. Unfortunately, you cannot view the log file in a text editor while the screen reader is running, because it is locked.
Open a command prompt or bring up the Run dialog by pressing Win+r and type:
"jaws_executable" /z"log_file"
Where "jaws_executable" is the full path and file name of the Jaws application and "log_file" is the location and name of the speech log file.
Important: There should be no space between "/z" and the log file name.
This is an old thread, but since it came up top in my search I thought I'd update it. JAWS 15 has just introduced this capability through the "Speech History" feature. Follow these directions to enable it:
If you miss one or more messages spoken by JAWS, you can press
INSERT+SPACEBAR, followed by H to open a Results Viewer window
containing up to the last 50 announcements spoken by the synthesizer.
When the Speech History window opens, you are placed on the line
containing the most recent announcement. To clear the history, press
INSERT+SPACEBAR, followed by SHIFT+H. The history is also cleared when
you lock the computer or completely log off. If you do not want JAWS
to maintain a speech history, clear the Enable Speech History check
box in Settings Center.
Read more in the JAWS 15 What's New document under New Speech History for Speech-only Users.
For those of you stuck with JAWS 14, Nektarios Paisios answer using the "/z" log worked best for me.
I believe there is a visual indicator in JAWS, but my version of JAWS is being a bit wonky. These days, NVDA plays pretty similarly to JAWS, so you can use that, and it has a speech output console: Right click the NVDA icon in the system tray, select Tools, and Speech Viewer.
The easiest way to see what a screen reader 'sees' is to disable the CSS. This will show you everything on the page that the screen reader can access. This will give you a good idea what is going on during development until you want to get into the more complicated stuff.
See http://www.iheni.com/quick-tip-testing-web-content-for-screen-readers-without-a-screen-reader/. This site has a lot of useful info too http://webaim.org/articles/.
You can enable the Braille Viewer in Start Menu > All Programs > JAWS 14.0 > Braille Viewer.
Braille Viewer will render visual text output of what would be sent to a braille display. It sometimes uses abbreviations or shorthand but is a close representation of the speech output.
Also take a look at Fangs Screen Reader Emulator for Firefox. It will render a text output of what a screen reader would announce on a page, in the correct read order, though it does not render dynamic content.
JAWS is supplied with a Braille Viewer in the 'Utilities' folder, which will render any text from the focus.
I have a mobile website that my customers can navigate to through the web. I would like to be able to add an icon shortcut to their phone so that once they click on it they will go directly to the website. I was wondering if there is a way to make this easier? For example, when they visit the mobile website for the first time they click on a button and the script behind this button will automatically download my icon, put it on their smartphone, and link this icon to my mobile website. Can someone advise me on how to do this?
I was just googling this same issue and I found this site... http://socialmedia.biz/2012/02/21/encourage-visitors-to-save-your-site-as-a-mobile-shortcut/
Not sure if it's exactly what you are after, but it sounds about right.
Iphone
Step 1: Make sure Safari is active. Do this in settings.
Step 2: Open Safari and key in-your desired web page
Step 3: Once the site displays on the screen, there is a selection in the very middle at the bottom. Hit it and a screen will come up showing various icons.
Step 4: Find the one with a plus sign at the bottom that says add to screen Select it
Step 5: You will see that now you can just tap that new shortcut to get to the web page.
My NSLog messages no longer show up in my Debug Area. Anyone have an idea how the could have happened?
I can hit command-7 to bring of a list of logs in the left pane, select the latest one and view it in my editor window, but it is extremely annoying compared to having the console output in the debug area.
I had the same issue. Below are fix for this :
You console may be hidden. Press Show the console button present in right corner (blue coloured when console is open).
You may be displaying Debugger or Target output. Select All Output (Checkmark is displayed when selected).
a. Open Xcode preference (shortcut: cmd + ,).
b. Select Behaviours tab from pop-up.
c. From the Build sections select Succeeds.
d. Enable Show debugger with Current Views.
e. Select Console View from the drop-down list.
Not sure but may be you have clicked on one of the three buttons at the top right corner of the debug area that are used to either show only variables view, only the console or both.
if you want to display Debug area always, then follow these steps:
Goto XCode > Preferences > Behaviors > Succeeds >
Check checkbox of Show tab named
Type DEBUG in the textbox next to Show tab named
select separate window in dropdown next to Textbox
Now click checkbox before debugger with and select Console View in the dropdown
Now when you will run our app, console window will popout itself.
And shortcut key for this is command+shift+y
For me, the answer is to 'activate console'
Go to view -> Debug Area -> Activate Console
You have a few choices:
In the menus, select View -> Show Debug Area.
In the View selection controller in the upper right, enable the bottom view (the one in the middle).
If you'd like this to show automatically, go to Preferences -> Behaviors. Select "Run Starts" and enable "Show" Debug Area.
For Xcode 8
I set OS_ACTIVITY_MODE to disable to hide crazy logging message in simulator. But it will also hide NSLog output on my iPhone SE device (print function in swift still works).
Remove the environment variable makes NSLog work again.
Make Sure that in your Debugger Area >> Debugger Bar you have Selected ALL OUTPUT
I had an iOS universal app that would show debugger output for the iPhone version, but not for the iPad version.
I looked into editing the schemes ( commandSHIFT, ) and the iPad scheme had a different debugger than the iPhone scheme. I changed the iPad scheme's debugger to match the iPhone's (from LLDB ---> GDB)
Took me a while to figure this out... Here's a screenshot of Xcode 6.1.1. Make sure you have chosen All output at 1 and activated the output pane in 2. Somehow the output pane suddenly was gone for me and I just didn't see the icons at the bottom for like 2 hours.
Just confirm that you have Xcode open with similar rights as you have the ownership of the files you are trying to build/run and also make sure you have same rights to the build directory. I noticed Xcode won't show any debug output if rights were mismatched. I figured this after facing so much harassment. When this happened, utilities>console was still showing logs. I used that as a workaround.
Mine is: Xcode 4.2 Build 4D199 on OS X 10.7.2
For me, "Debug Executable" in Scheme Settings (Product-->Scheme-->Edit Scheme: Run) had been unchecked.
On an 12.1 Xcode version you can do either:
Option 1: View > Debug Area > Activate Console
Option 2: Shift + cmd + c (to activate console)
Option 3: (if your console is already activated) Shift + cmd + y
Here is a picture for you:

If you don't have anything displaying in the logs, the log view will unselect itself and not display itself. You could add a printf and verify this.
I've written a small Processing App which I'm planning to release soon. What's still missing is a sweet custom icon for Titlebar/Taskbar (Win) and Dock (Mac). Any suggestions how to do this?
Thx!
Meanwhile I figured it out on my own:
Obviously this works for Mac OS by replacing the sketch.icns file within the exported app, for win & liunx is done by adding this line to your setup method:
frame.setIconImage( getToolkit().getImage("sketch.ico") );
It depends if you have any artistic ability or not.
If not, then you can hire an icon designer to do one, or search the web for free icons - there are billions.
If you have a modicum of artisticness, then you could grab a free icon that is almost what you want and then tweak it. IcoFX is a great free application for doing this sort of thing.
If you think you have what it takes to draw an icon from scratch, then a good plan is to use a vector art package. This allows you to export the same graphic at multiple resolutions so you can get top quality at every icons size you need (from 16x16 to 256x256). Alternatively, draw a large (512x512) verison in a bitmap editor and then downscale it as required. As long as you start big and downscale, you shouldn't have any problems (although to get a good icon at 16x16 and 32x32 you will still need a good eye and a lot of manual tweaking).
In your code, just type this line:
frame.setIconImage( getToolkit().getImage("sketch.ico") );
For Windows/Linux, this will do it. For Mac/OSX, follow these steps:
Find your sketch in Finder
Right click > info, or CmdI
Find your icon and open it in Preview
In Preview, click on your icon and press CmdA or right click > select all
In Preview, press CmdC, or right click > copy
Go back to Finder. Click on the current icon of your sketch. You'll know you've selected it when a blue outline appears. Press CmdV, or right click > paste
Tips:
The standard icon size is 512x512
When making your icon, make sure that your transparencies are working
