Also forgot to point out, you can buy keys with a transparent cover over the top on ali so you can shove a piece of paper underneath the transparent bit to use as labels.
I get this, but an IDE should be invisible and grow as you do and not require you to learn lots of janky things before it becomes a little bit useful for you.
Need the basics, great, here they are. Don't understand some advanced feature? Well the IDE has it here, but it isn't in your way, mess with it as and when you want. It'll still be there.
I don't think one IDE does everything for different languages and its ok to swap editors depending on your workflow, your project and your ever-changing skillset.
I'm using Mate and it allows me to easily define custom shortcuts to open apps and so on. I suppose autoIt / the linux variants / custom script can add additional functionality to the keypad as well!
Exactly, what a god-for-saken horrid solution! I'm all for JSON configuration for really low-down dirty stuff, but for something as simple as this? Eugh, no! Refactoring in Pycharm is fine as far as I can tell, never had any issues with it.
VSCode/ium is fine for single-file python or other such simple stuff, but not for big projects and was an instant deal breaker for me. I hated pycharm when I first started using it, but as I get more used to it, it's way more usable and has some nice little features, so I'll stick with it for now.
I get VSCode from a product marketing point of view and understand why it was created, but I wish it wasn't. One size fits all never works out in the long-term
I'm absolutely confused as to why not other manufacturer has adopted a little lip at the top of the keyboard above either the number or F keys to rest a pen. It was made in the days when scientists had their pen in one hand, log book on the desk and keyboard in the other hand. A place to rest the pen was necessary. It's 'still important today!
Great! I've bought similar without the dials (I wish I didn't have to pay extra for the stupid LEDs) and was hoping there was something open sourcey to configure it with rather than their dodgy codebase for the same reasons you list!
How do you comfortably set up different run targets with args for different scripts when developing a large project? I think the problem with one tool for all means you get basic support with plugins, not specialised support for one.
It sounds beautiful! It'd be really nice if there were transparent rubber keypads available that could be put over phone screens. Then you could fashion an old phone as a keyboard with infinite layers. A simple flutter app to set up the shortcuts and make them configurable and badda boom!
Mechanical keyboards have a huge, fanatical following! /c/mechanical_keyboards - shame it's dead. I expected to see posts of why the IBM Model M is better than everything else!
Exactly! The old books cover the terminal commands really well and almost everything will still apply. If you read it cover to cover, you're going to end up knowing more commands than most daily users of Linux and it'd help you with any networking / IT courses you intend to study.
what's "large" and what's "cheap"?
