Editors & IDEs

What VS Code, Neovim, and JetBrains are each good at, the settings worth changing first, and editing skills that outlive any of them.

VS Code

The safest default. The settings and extensions worth touching in the first 30 minutes.

Neovim

A modal editor driven entirely from the keyboard. Worth the investment if you work on servers often.

JetBrains IDEs

Getting the most out of the refactoring and debugging in IntelliJ, PyCharm, and GoLand.

Editing Skills

Multi-cursor, regex replace, LSP, and EditorConfig — the parts that survive changing editors.
