# Tips & Tricks
2+
3+
A collection of quick tips to help you get the most out of Roo Code.
4+
5+
- Drag Roo Code to the [Secondary Sidebar](https://code.visualstudio.com/api/ux-guidelines/sidebars#secondary-sidebar) so you can see the Explorer, Search, Source Control, etc.
6+
- If you're not using [MCP](/advanced-usage/mcp), turn it off in the <Codicon name="notebook" /> Prompts tab to significantly cut down the size of the system prompt.
7+
- To keep your [custom modes](/advanced-usage/custom-modes) on track, limit the types of files that they're allowed to edit.
8+
- If you hit the dreaded `input length and max tokens exceed context limit` error, you can recover by deleting a message, rolling back to a previous checkpoint, or switching over to a model with a long context window like Gemini for a message.
9+
- In general, be thoughtful about your `Max Tokens` setting for thinking models. Every token you allocate to that takes away from space available to store conversation history. Consider only using high `Max Tokens` / `Max Thinking Tokens` settings with modes like Architect and Debug, and keeping Code mode at 16k max tokens or less.
10+
- If there's a real world job posting for something you want a custom mode to do, try asking Code mode to `Create a custom mode based on the job posting at @[url]`
