I&#39;m trying to get my `NSWindow` to:

1. Be visible on all Spaces
2. Be visible when showing the Desktop (by pressing `F11`) 
3. Not be visible in Mission Control/Expose

The following does exactly that, but with a side effect:

    [self setCollectionBehavior: NSWindowCollectionBehaviorCanJoinAllSpaces
                                | NSWindowCollectionBehaviorStationary ];

When switching to the Dashboard on Mac OS X Lion, the window remains visible alone with Dashboard items for a second, then it is hidden.

Is this expected behavior or a bug? Users of my app find it confusing to see the window on the Dashboard before they disappear. I would have expected them to only show on Spaces and not the Dashboard.



NSWindow with NSWindowCollectionBehaviorStationary is visible on the Dashboard. Is this a bug?

 Do I *have to* take out all the spaces in the file name to import it, or is there some way of telling `import` that there are spaces?

How do you import a file in python with spaces in the name?

What is the easiest and most efficient way to remove spaces from a string in C?


Remove spaces from a string in C

Using python and argparse, the user could input a file name with -d as the flag.

    parser.add_argument(&quot;-d&quot;, &quot;--dmp&quot;, default=None)

However, this failed when the path included spaces. E.g. 

    -d C:\SMTHNG\Name with spaces\MORE\file.csv

NOTE: the spaces would cause an error (flag only takes in &#39;C:SMTHNG\Name&#39; as input).

    error: unrecognized arguments: with spaces\MORE\file.csv

Took me longer than it should have to find the solution to this problem...
(did not find a Q&amp;A for it so I&#39;m making my own post)

How can I convert tabs to spaces in every file of a directory (possibly recursively)?

Also, is there a way of setting the number of spaces per tab?

How do I strip all the spaces in a python string? For example, I want a string like `strip my spaces` to be turned into `stripmyspaces`, but I cannot seem to accomplish that with `strip()`:

    &#39;strip my spaces&#39;

I know there are a lot of posts about this, but I couldn&#180;t get it to work.&lt;br&gt;
I use tabs for coding. Is there a way, to convert always spaces to tabs? I.e. on open and on Save files? Anyone got an idea?

// edit:&lt;br&gt;
My desire is to do this **automatically**! -&gt; open, save or on the fly&lt;bR&gt;
Does anyone know how to do?


&lt;br&gt;I tried [this][1]:


    import sublime, sublime_plugin, os

	class ExpandTabsOnSave(sublime_plugin.EventListener):
	  # Run ST&#39;s &#39;expand_tabs&#39; command when saving a file
	  def on_pre_save(self, view):
	    if view.settings().get(&#39;expand_tabs_on_save&#39;) == 1:
	      view.window().run_command(&#39;expand_tabs&#39;)

And here are my user Settings:

    {
		&quot;auto_complete_selector&quot;: &quot;source - comment, meta.tag - punctuation.definition.tag.begin&quot;,
		&quot;auto_indent&quot;: true,

Sublime Text 3, convert spaces to tabs

I&#39;ve looked over several questions on Stack Overflow for how to convert spaces to tabs without finding what I need. There seem to be more questions about how to convert tabs to spaces, but I&#39;m trying to do the opposite.

In `Vim` I&#39;ve tried `:retab` and `:retab!` without luck, but I believe those are actually for going from tabs to spaces anyways.

I tried both `expand` and `unexpand` at the command prompt without any luck.

Here is the file in question:

I have both TypeScript and HTML files in my project, in both files tabs are converted to spaces.

I want to turn the auto-conversion off and make sure that my project has only tabs.

Edit:

With this setting it seems to work in HTML files but not in TypeScript files.

```json
{
  &quot;editor.insertSpaces&quot;: false
}
```

Visual Studio Code - Convert spaces to tabs

A long while back I transitioned to doing all my web application development in Eclipse from BBEdit. But I miss one little feature from BBEdit. I used to be able to show invisible characters like tabs but not show other invisibles like spaces. I know that I can bulk turn all of these on in Eclipse, but I wonder if there is a way to show only some invisibles in Eclipse.

    target: dependencies
    	command1

On my system (Mac OS X), `make` seems to require that that Makefiles have a tab character preceding the the content of each `command` line, or it throws a syntax error.

This is an annoyance when creating or editing Makefiles because I have my editor set up to be all-spaces-all-the-time.

How can I convert a list into a space-separated string in Python?

For example, I want to convert this list:

    my_list = [how,are,you]

Into the string `&quot;how are you&quot;` 

The spaces are important. I don&#39;t want to get `howareyou` as I have with my attempt so far of using

    &quot;&quot;.join(my_list)

The &lt;code&gt;unzip&lt;/code&gt; command doesn&#39;t have an option for recursively unzipping archives.

If I have the following directory structure and archives:

&lt;pre&gt;
/Mother/Loving.zip
/Scurvy/Sea Dogs.zip
/Scurvy/Cures/Limes.zip
&lt;/pre&gt;

And I want to unzip all of the archives into directories with the same name as each archive:

&lt;pre&gt;
/Mother/Loving/1.txt
/Mother/Loving.zip
/Scurvy/Sea Dogs/2.txt
/Scurvy/Sea Dogs.zip
/Scurvy/Cures/Limes/3.txt
/Scurvy/Cures/Limes.zip
&lt;/pre&gt;

What command or commands would I issue?

It&#39;s important that this doesn&#39;t choke on filenames that have spaces in them.

At work we are several developers and don&#39;t have a code style guide, and some developers indent with tabs, and some others with 4 spaces (luckily noone of the indent with spaces people uses different than 4 spaces). In general this is no (big) problem because in our editors we set `tabwidth=4` and all the indentation seems correct.

But in `git diff` or `git show` that&#39;s what appears:

    diff --git a/mesclatabs.php b/mesclatabs.php
    new file mode 100644
    index 0000000..1986c91
    --- /dev/null
    +++ b/mesclatabs.php
    @@ -0,0 +1,5 @@
    +&lt;?php
    +function foo() {
    +       echo &quot;line with 1 tab\n&quot;;
    +    echo &quot;line with 4 spaces\n&quot;;
    +}

The problem is `git diff` or `git show` where each tabs appears as wide as 8 spaces (well, in reality appears as a tab, and the shell (bash in my case) is showing the tab as 8 spaces. I suppose there must be some bash config to change this, but I&#39;d like to know if git has an option to output tabs as 4 spaces in `diff` / `show`, as some developers work with `zsh` instead of `bash`.

Any ideas?

How do I echo one or more tab characters using a bash script?

    res=&#39;		&#39;x # res = &quot;\t\tx&quot;

I get this

Is there a preference in Textwrangler to redefine a tab as 4 spaces? In Vim this is `set expandtab` in the vimrc, but I don&#39;t know how to set it in TW besides clicking &quot;Detab&quot; when I&#39;m done editing the document.

Thanks,

Auto-convert tab to 4 spaces in TextWrangler?

I need my Java program to take a string like:

    &quot;This is a sample sentence.&quot;

and turn it into a string array like:

    {&quot;this&quot;,&quot;is&quot;,&quot;a&quot;,&quot;sample&quot;,&quot;sentence&quot;}

No periods, or punctuation (preferably). By the way, the string input is always one sentence.

Is there an easy way to do this that I&#39;m not seeing? Or do we really have to search for spaces a lot and create new strings from the areas between the spaces (which are words)?
