Atom: Multiple Cursors Cmd+Click - atom-editor

The latest update to Atom v1.14.3 editor took away the ability to have multiple cursors via Cmd+Click. I'm on macOS Sierra v10.12.3.
Is there a way to enable multiple cursors?

My box for "cmd-click for multi cursor" is checked in, but it doesn't work.
But, I discovered you can press cmd-shift and it makes cursors.

Issue with Rstudio version (Version 1.3.1073) "Giant goldenrod" when moving R studio window to new monitor doesn't display correctly

This is a basic question that I hope has a simple solution. When I move my Rstudio window to an external monitor display - it no longer rescales properly and instead is rendered completely useless - showing me only the lower portion of the window (see screenshot) and doesn't allow me to resize the window or adjust it in anyway to access the taskbar along the top. Has anyone else experienced this or have options for how this could be fixed?
I frequently need to shift my Rstudio window to different monitors, and I was doing this with no issue prior to installing the latest Rstudio version - so I am wondering if there must just be some setting that got reset when I updated the software, but I can't seem to figure it out. I have tried fixing scaling options in Windows by using the properties options on the Rstudio icon on my desktop - and then clicking on compatibility and High DPI settings, but messing around with that so far hasn't seemed to work. However I haven't tried all possible combinations as i thought I would check here first to see if someone could fast track this process for me. As you can see in the image - this display is impossible to work with. When I move it back - it works as it should. I am using Windows 10, and I update my software regularly. TY!
Update
Ok, I was able to reproduce on a Lenovo with an external Dell monitor and address the problem by applying a fix proposed in another Stack Overflow thread. See below:
Research:
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/windows-scaling-issues-for-high-dpi-devices-508483cd-7c59-0d08-12b0-960b99aa347d
Resolution:
There is a solution, it comes from the option "Compatibility" of the execute file.
Close all current RStudio windows.
Right-click on the shortcut of RStudio (or the original .exe file) and choose Properties
In the RStudio Properties pop-up windows, choose the tab Compatibility
Select High DPI settings
Tick on option Override hide DPI scaling... and then choose System from the drop-down list.
Apply > OK.
(Re)open Rstudio to see the change
On my test system, this addressed the problem observed where the menu text became super large.
Stackoverflow original reference:
RStudio HiDPI support
This appears to be an issue with the version of QT used by RStudio. RStudio is built on top of the QT engine.
QT tracking Issue:
https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-48242
the issue is marked as fixed in QT version 5.9.0 and above.
Recommendation:
Download RStudio preview and try that:
https://www.rstudio.com/products/rstudio/download/preview/
Why? The preview version of RStudio appears to use QtWebEngine/5.12.8, which implies the issue is addressed. If that does not resolve the issue you could file a bug with RStudio, or install and recompile RStudio from the source with an updated version of QT. You can check your QT version via the help, about box.
Hoping the above points you in the right direction. Stays safe and well.

Is there a way to disable virtual keyboard in JavaFX for ARM?

I'm using ARM build of JavaFX from Gluon on my Raspberry Pi. It has Virtual Keyboard enabled, so every time I touch an input field -- the keyboard pops up. Is there a way to disable it? I've tried using -Dcom.sun.javafx.isEmbedded=false -Dcom.sun.javafx.touch=false -Dcom.sun.javafx.virtualKeyboard=none but that has no effect.
I need to do this to replace the default VK with a custom one, that supports different layouts and locales (and looks better, tbh). Right now both of them pop up, overlapping each other.
With JavaFX 11 -Dcom.sun.javafx.virtualKeyboard="none" works for Gluon builds. For JavaFX8 I haven't found a solution at the time except rebuilding from source.

Atom editor : Bookmark package: bookmark toggle not working with default key mapping

I use Atom 1.8.0 on Windows 7.
The keymapping says, 'ctrl-alt-f2' with selector '.platform-win32 atom-text-editor'. If I press the combination of buttons, nothing happens.
I mapped the bookmark toggle operation to another key mapping ('ctrl-shift-1') just to see if it works, and it works. My problem of bookmarking is solved, but I wanted to know why the default combination is not working.
What am I doing wrong ? How can I trouble shoot this to find the root cause ?
The keybinding-resolver is a great way to detect conflicting keyboard shortcuts. If there are conflicts, you can use unset! to disable existing shortcuts.
If the problem persists, make sure the same shortcut isn't used globally. There is a GitHub issue reporting the Intel Graphics Control Panel is using the same shortcut globally.

important hotkeys don't work anymore after RStudio update to 0.99.878

I recently updated RStudio for Windows via download link mainly due to interest in the new features of the most recent version 0.99.878. Unfortunaly after the installation some important hotkeys behave different in the source editor, while they still work in the Console. I.e.
Ctrl+S starts an "isearch"
Ctrl+V jumps to the end of the document
When I enter Ctrl+X+(S or V) the hotkeys work as they should. The hotkeys can be customized, however when I open the Keyboard Shortcuts dialog it shows me the settings for the hotkeys. Also the cursor has turned to a shiny green rectangle (insert isn't activated).
The problems remains after switching the project. Also reinstalling Rstudio 0.99.878 didn't work out. I've seen a similar issue here, but think mine is different as it is installation related. I might have accidentally activated a special editor setting but couldn't find any.
It sounds like you may have (accidentally?) activated Emacs keybindings. If you go to Tools -> Global Options..., you can reset the preference here:

Change browser to display retina or webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio: 2 [duplicate]

How can you simulate a retina display (HiDPI mode) in Mac OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion on a non-retina display?
Search for, download, and install Apple's free Additional Tools for Xcode 8 (for previous Xcode releases search for Graphics Tools for Xcode according to your version).
Note: free Apple Developer account required.
Launch Quartz Debug application.
Go to menu: Window ---> UI Resolution.
Check Enable HiDPI display modes.
Quit Quartz Debug.
Open System Preferences.
Select Displays icon.
If using multiple display, select the configuration window on the display you wish to simulate HiDPI mode on.
Under Resolution:, select Scaled radio button.
Find a desired resolution postfixed with (HiDPI) and select it.
Your display is now running in HiDPI mode, simulating a retina display.
Source: High Resolution Guidelines for OS X
I found the following instructions. It seems to work, and it is much easier than the Quartz Debug approach.
"Enable HiDPI mode in Mountain Lion w/o Quartz Debug"
https://gist.github.com/3191869
In brief, run the following commands, log out, log on, and the HiDPI resolutions are available in the display preferences:
sudo defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.windowserver DisplayResolutionEnabled -bool YES
sudo defaults delete /Library/Preferences/com.apple.windowserver DisplayResolutionDisabled
(In my case the first command was enough; the second command just prints an error message.)
Edit: (5/31/2016)
For users trying to do this on El Capitan, please read the FAQ on SwitchRes's website. Also, if something's still not working after you did all the steps in the FAQ, consider uninstalling and reinstalling SwitchResX. That solved the issue I was having on one of my laptops.
Original:
After reading through several forums, websites, blogs.
I am here to present a solution for users with 15" MacBook Pro with Retina display connected to a Thunderbolt Display.
First of all,
Terminal command of modifying plist
Quartz Debug
Holding option and select "Scaled" in System Preferences
ResolutionTab (Mac App Store)
These methods DO NOT work for MBPr with Thunderbolt Display, for whatever reasons.
You will not see the HiDPI options to be selected.
The only tool I found that actually gives us the options is SwitchResX.
However another problem exists here.
Most users with this setup, I believe, are trying to use 1280x720 HiDPI because it's half the native resolution of the TBD.
According SwitchResX's FAQ, in some cases it is not possible to set to this resolution because of a bug within OS X itself.
Here's a screenshot for your reference:
After contacting the developer, he presented a workaround - adding one more pixel - which worked for me.
Install SwitchResX and open it from System Preferences.
Go to Thunderbolt Display tab, and add a Custom Resolutions with Scaled Resolution at 2562 x 1440
Here's a screenshot
Save using command + s. (or simply close the window and use the prompt up)
Restart the laptop.
Go to SwitchResX and select the new custom resolution in the Current Resolution tab. (Sometimes it doesn't show up right away, play around with it and it should.)
Here you go.
I hope this answer gets to users with this setup because it is really frustrating to use 16:10 resolution on a 16:9 display.
For those unable to enable HIDPI on rMBP or new MBA, I experienced the same on my rMBP 15" with Air Display. I solved the problem by installing SwitchResX. With the boolean setting enabled as shown in the referenced gist, the HIDPI setting shows up.
Dragging seems a little laggy in Air Display, but otherwise works great.
Try this
sudo defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.windowserver DisplayResolutionEnabled -bool YES
[from here]
If your monitor supports it, it may also be worth setting the DisplayPort version to 1.1 instead of 1.2.
I have a late 2010 Mac Air with a Samsung S27D850 display and had all sorts of intermittent resolution switching issues until I made that change.
As for me its pretty good app that give you opportunity for changing resolution any that you want.
SwitchResX for Mac and MacBook.
This app resolved all my problems with resolution.
