Ah, finally! A text editor for emo developers who need GPU acceleration to feel validated 😒. Because everyone knows syntax highlighting is so last millennium without WASM plugins 🚀. Meanwhile, actual coding productivity is left wandering in the wilderness. 🙄

❓ Want to open a context menu in Windows via keyboard shortcut?

➡️ Press "Shift + F10"

I navigate Windows via keyboard a lot, and this was the last thing I was somehow missing. 😊

⭐ Great quote from one of the articles:

Chad Fowler notes how deep-seated this is:

"The older I get, the more I realize the biggest problem to solve in tech is to get people to stop making things harder than they have to be."

To answer one of my own questions:

Regarding the missing indication of which virtual desktop I am currently on, I just found a small tool called "WindowsVirtualDesktopHelper".

It briefly displays the name of the current desktop after switching, and it adds the number of the current desktop as a taskbar icon.

This is very helpful! ⭐

I really like the "virtual desktop" feature of Windows! 💜

It let's me switch easily between setups for coding, communication, etc. 🥳

What I do not enjoy:

🟠 No keyboard shortcuts to directly jump to a specific desktop

🟠 With different wallpapers for each desktop under #Windows11, switching between desktops becomes jumpy and unreliable

🟠 No indication of current desktop's name anywhere

Did anybody overcome these problems? I'd be glad about any hint! 🙏

To make use of the space a widescreen monitor or multiple monitors offer, it is worthwhile checking out the window management tools of Windows:

- Windows 11: drag window to the bar on the top edge of the screen to quickly create a window group

- Windows 10: drag a window to the left/right edge or corners of the screen to create a window group

- Windows 10 again: use "PowerToys" by Microsoft, it has a feature "FancyZones" with adv. tiling features

I had to work up to this and rearrange my setup several times to make this finally work! 😅 Also, I mounted all three monitors on monitor arms, to save space.

Some random insights from using multiple monitors for a while:

- For private dev work, 2 monitors is enough (at work I use 3, so I can have Outlook + Teams on a separate monitor)

- When using a single monitor, a widescreen like the one you have is an extremely versatile solution! ✨

This is actually meditation music, but it gives me the peace of mind to work through tricky problems. 🙂

See attached screenshot for how to implement my suggested "nnvar" postfix template as a source template.

Hello @matkoch! 👋

As promised, I wanted to ask you about how to implement custom postfix completion templates in Rider. 🙂

As an example that would be super handy for me:

I would like to have a postfix template "nnvar" for any nullable variable applying a non-null var pattern.

Please see attached image for a mockup of how I think this should work.

If you could give me any hint on how I could achieve this, I would be very grateful! 😺

@ZwodahS

Some things I do:

- "Documentation via code" (readily available scripts for installing dependencies / building / running tests / ...)
- Keeping a list of the very next things to do

For any additional documentation:

- Use simple file formats (markdown, svg files for diagrams, ...)
- Have all these files under version control within the project's own repository

💜 Things I love about Rider 💜

I want to show my appreciation for Rider's "Local History" feature. 😺

😱 Ever slightly messed up a file?

✨ Right-click the file => "Local History" => cherry-pick the changes you want undone. 🥳

😱 Every accidentally deleted a file not yet under version control?

✨ Right-click the containing folder => "Local History" => revert the deletion. 🥳

A big "thank you" to whoever invented & implemented it! 💜

@HelenJoScott That is a great article! I had no idea about the "Alt + Click + Drag" method! 😮 👍

Let me add another cool method that is super handy:

✨ Press "ALT + J" several times, to mark the word the cursor is on, as well as all the other instances of this word in the same file. Gives you multiple cursors as well! ⭐

I use this all the time for refactorings. 😺

Again, I discovered a feature in Rider that made my life so much easier:

✨ "Align Multiline Constructs" ✨

It tells the formatter to arrange certain code constructs in columns, e.g. placing variable types and names directly under each other in declarations.

Now I just have to press "Ctrl + Alt + L", and have a much easier time to visually parse adjacent lines of similar code! 😍

Did I already mention that Rider is awesome? 💜 😄
