C++ Visual Studio - How to tab at end of line to add comment

This is a stupid and frustrating thing. Working with VS 2019 after a few years away, and I cannot remember the option to allow me to tab at the end of a line to add an end-of-line comment. The cursor just sits there when I hit tab at the end of
int frustrationLevel = 99;
I want to tab after the semicolon dagnabit!
int frustrationLevel = 99; // omg please help me!
I know this used to be possible.
TIA!
After comparing option after option with a previous version of VS where the tab worked as desired, I found an option that was set
Options -> Text Editor -> C/C++ -> Code Style -> Formatting -> General ::
Automatically indent when I type a tab.
Unchecking this option fixed my issue.

How to prevent VS code formatter inserting spaces in vectors

The Visual Studio 15 code formatter always inserts spaces in vector declarations
eg I get
vector< string > something;
instead of
vector<string> something;
Is there any way of preventing this?
In Visual Studio, click on Tools -> Options.
In the left panel, select Text Editor -> C/C++ -> Formatting -> Spacing.
You will see a tree of things in the right panel; one of the options will change the behavior you've described.

How do I turn off auto-complete for Code::Blocks

As I am typing in Code::Blocks, I would prefer to type code directly without having the editor insert closing parentheses and brackets.
I chose the disable code-completion in Settings > Editor > Code Completion, but this feature does not disable auto complete features with closing characters.
What is the right setting for turning off this feature in Code::Blocks?
(Be aware this could happen to you by the pronoun censors: https://www.theregister.co.uk/2019/10/08/stack_overflow_apology/)
"Settings -> Editor... -> General settings -> Indent options -> Brace completion"
I got it,How to disable the auto brace and etc.....Tools>Editor option>Completion....you will find two tabs under the main tab Code completion and Symbol completion....Disable both tick marks of it and free to write coding....
You have to go to:
"Settings -> Editor X -> General Settings -> Indent options -> Complete brackets"
And with that, it would have to work
Tool=>Editor Options=>Completion tab=>symbol completion
Unselect the ones that are not desirable

Align code in VS 2010

Is there a way to align the written C++ code in VS 2010? I want after selecting a block of code to apply a combination of button press and the code to be aligned as in Eclipse or Netbeans with Java.
Look at Edit -> Advanced -> Format Selection
The keyboard shortcut depends on your settings. It's Ctrl+K+F for me. (Under Options -> Environment -> Keyboard enter Edit.FormatSelection into the field labeled Show commands containing to add your own shortcut.)
for code block : ctrl +E,F (Edit -> Advanced -> Format Selections)
for document : ctrl +E,D (Edit -> Advanced -> Format Document)
Try using Ctrl+K+F on the selected text.
Is Ctrl + E, D what you're after?

C/C++ method parameter hints in Eclipse

is there any way how to enable Eclipse to show hints for parameters of C/C++ functions.
When I press Ctrl + Shift + Space it shows only types of parameters but not the names.
And is there also any way Eclipse can show parameter hints automatically when ( is pressed?
Thanks for any advice.
Are you using the CDT plugin? If so which version? The following applies to Eclipse 3.5 (Galileo) with the CDT plugin. If your setup is different then the rest of this answer may not be accurate.
Ctrl + Space brings up the type and names of parameters for me.
Looking through the preferences (Window -> Preferences -> C/C++ -> Editor -> Content Assist ) there's an Auto-Activation panel. There's 3 triggers available, ., :: and ->
Typing this-> and waiting 200ms brings up a list of auto-complete options. This list contains the methods and shows both the type and name of the parameters (if the name is available)
The same applies to foo. where foo is an object and bar-> where bar is a pointer.
If you're talking about when you're implementing a method, then the same applies. Foo:: + Ctrl + Space brings up the list of available items, including methods and shows parameter types and names.
