How to install latest Code::Blocks using codeblocks_17.12-1_amd64_stable.tar.xz?
Software center has an old version and I am not able to configure. How to install? Why is there no documentation for installing?
I don't have a good experience with codeblocks on Ubuntu. I've tried in 15.10 and 16.04 and it always crashes after a while. I just open a console application, create some .h files and run. I use it for a c++ university class. I don't do complex stuff. I reinstalled many times on both 15.10 and 16.04 and it keeps crashing .
I'm using codeblocks for my C++ IDE. I am using Ubuntu 14.04 LTS. I like to comment out code using Ctrl+Shift+C.
All of a sudden, though, it's stopped working! How do I turn it back on?
EDIT commenting out code using Ctrl+Shift+Z does work. But Ctrl+Shift+C does not. If I go to the menu, click edit, then click copy it out it DOES work. It's just the keyboard shortcut that's broken.
EDIT #2 Whenever I do try to use Ctrl+Shift+C, I notice this unusual warning message appear: HTML Help not found at [file directory of project goes here]
Could this be a clue?
I pressed Ctrl + Capslock instead of Ctrl+Tab 4-5 times. Each time the font-size of the editor shrunk. I checked Settings -> Editor -> Font, but the problem was not from font-size, it's like a "zoom-out" thing. I tried sudo apt-get remove codeblocks and sudo apt-get install codeblocks but unfortunately it didn't reset the preferences. What can I do now?
I occasionally have the need to indent a block of text with spaces for use within a web browser, for example, when formatting a code block on this site or in a post on Launchpad.
So far I've just done it by hand by copying four spaces to the clipboard and then mashing keys really fast:
↓, Home, Ctrl+V (repeat)
What is the quickest way to accomplish this?
- Copying and pasting to another program? (Which?)
- A Firefox or Chrome browser extension?
- A command to directly modify the clipboard contents?
- An auto-typing program?
