Display runtime variables within Debug console in WebStorm - webstorm

I've switched over from IntelliJ to WebStorm to do some front-end development and I seem to have lost the ability to view the runtime variables. Can someone point out the configuration to allow me to do this?
When I'm debugging, currently I see this:
When I used to see similar to:
Simply, I've lost the Variables tab. Can anyone help me configure the options? I've tried using https://www.jetbrains.com/help/rider/Inspecting_Variables.html
...to no avail
Thanks in advance

This view should definitely be there. Please try restoring the Debug tool window layout by pressing the corresponding toolbar button:
does it help?
If it doesn't, please contact JetBrains support, providing your idea.log (Help | Show log in Explorer) and information about Node.js version being used

Why does the VS Solution Explorer Script Documents list keep growing and how do I use those links?

When we debug an MVC5 application, links are provided to access the running scripts as shown below. This is for a basic MVC5 application that has had absolutely no modifications:
If we simply refresh the screen 3 times on the home page, the list displayed gets longer as shown below:
I've never really tried to debug a script yet. I have used the html links to view pages and I understand I can open one of the .js files, set a breakpoint and try to debug a script. But why are there so many links?. I would have thought I only need a single link for any given script or page that is in progress; that the links would go away when the script or page is no longer active. Clearly I'm missing something about the constantly growing list.
Could someone provide a brief explanation of this feature and how I will use it. My book on Visual Studio mentions this feature, but doesn't provide enough text for me to get a handle on this aspect of the feature.
This looks like a bug in the Edge debug adapter. Specifically, the adapter is supposed to send an event when the page refreshes (or a navigation occurs) to clear out old scripts that are no longer valid for the new execution context (here's a link to the event description in the debug adapter protocol if you're curious).
We've opened an issue on the GitHub project where you can track the progress of the fix.
For a workaround in the mean time, if you click on the bottom-most duplicate script in the list, that should be the latest loaded version, and should work without error.
*EDIT:
We've got a fix for the issue which should be out with 16.2 Preview 2 of Visual Studio.

WebStorm JavaScript debugger: how to compress debugging messages

Recently I found that I can easily debug JavaScript application using Debugging tool in WebStorm. One problem I found it that debug messages are printed in WebStorm console without being collapsed/compressed.
For example, in Chrome dev-tools errors are presented this way:
and if the develop wants to get more details, he/she can click the small arrow and get a full stack trace.
However, I don't see how watching compressed errors is possible in WebStorm. I just see a full stack trace for every error:
It's really hard to read console and understand what is going on.
Do you know a way to see errors compressed in WebStorm as I see them in Chrome dev tools?
Not currently possible, please vote for IDEABKL-3271 to be notified on any progress with this feature

Sitecore 8 ribbons missing from toolbar

Suddenly all ribbons are not coming in Sitecore 8 one of my project.
For example If I am going in publish menu I cannot see any option there.
To solve this issue, I have updated all three folders and config file "sitecore,sitecore_modules,sitecore files & web.config" but still ribbons are not coming for me.
Please assist me what can be solution for this issue.
Thanks all for your effort. I just copied fresh "Content Editor.js" in Content Manger folder and my problem solved.
I believe your ribbons are just collapsed (not expanded). To expand them back there is a little check on the right hand side of the screen. Check the screenshot for reference
I also have same problem and this issue usually coming by difference the version sitecore when you want to integrate with your solution. Try with another sitecore (sitecore,sitecore_modules,sitecore files) version that it

How to lock the toolbars in WebStorm

I'm new to JetBrains WebStorm IDE. I really like it, especially for my JavaScript development, but I can't find how to set a very simple preference. I use the Project and Structure toolbars constantly, but every time one of the toolbars loses focus, the toolbar hides. Is there any way to lock the toolbars to keep them from hiding so that they are always visible? It seems like something very obvious, but perhaps not... I have gone through every setting in preferences that I can see but haven't found anything that works.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Enable the Pinned Mode:
If you also enable Split Mode, you can have both Project and Structure visible at the same time on the same side.

Loading Preferences in to a Mac Kernel Extension

Greetings!
I am working on a kernel extension driver for OSX. It is a simple keyboard filter. I have preferences that are set through a preference pane regarding how this filter will act. I need to take the preferences from this preference pane and load them in to the kernel extension.
I have googled all over and haven't found anything regarding how to do this.
Is there a way to load a plist in to a preference pane? Perhaps into an OSDictionary or something?
Or, what would be the best way to get preferences from my preference pane into my kext?
Thanks!
The source code of this project will help you. It uses sysctl to communicate between the pref pane and the kext.
Looks like this is exactly what I am looking for:
Kext Controls and Notifications
Excellent.
Rather than a kernel extension, you might look into Quartz Event Services, as it is designed for user-land event filtering.
