It’s bizarre to me that nowadays an application can become frontmost application at all. When I switched to OSX back in the days, it was an advertised feature that this can’t happen the same way it does on Windows. If something wants attent

Just turn off “Preferences->Mission Control->When switching to an application, switch to…”, that would be the setup you are asking for. As for myself, I don’t use Spaces at all. I have a keyboard shortcut for every application I use d

I'm currently writing a new client for RSS, which is dead. Framework of choice is Rails - which is also dead. This thread inspires me to pull in some jQuery and change the project name to Graveyard.

Ah, didn't realise there is a blog article about it. Thanks!

Do you mind sharing what back office solution you guys found? Did somewhat the same kind of research for our projects, but unfortunately didn't find anything decent that could really compete with ActiveAdmin/Rails Admin/Trest

From what I remember, object spread came a year later and is ES7 (in case you need a starting point for research)

It saves a whole keypress (because you need to go into multicursor mode first, then press Home / Ctrl+A to get to the beginning of the line. Additionally, there is a case where if you don't select the last line until the end, yo

You don't have to type "end". Shameless self plug: I wrote an extension that closes everything automatically, inspired by a plugin for vim with the same name: endwise[1] It's not 100% done yet, support for other language

A good decision to focus on closing issues and doing more polish for the past month. The project moves fast, so taking a step back is really appreciated - before it gets out of control (as in: too buggy)

How would you create a native GUI app on Linux for either Gnome or KDE, considering that GTK and Qt are not allowed by this definition? And yes, you may think: "Easy, if a GTK app runs on Linux its native, if it runs on another platfor

It's not, OP didn't count the other processes in (they are listed seperatly in Activity Monitor). VSCode needs roughly the same amount of RAM on macOS.

I understood the question – and that IntelliJ has all of those things is exactly the point I was trying to make. You get most of the features from a heavyweight IDE, but they managed to get the architecture incredibly lightweight so you can

Apart from Intellisense completion, a full featured integrated debugger, version control integration wich supports line wise staging, a diff viewer, a fast integrated terminal that even gets link detection in the next release, proper variab

The gained performance in the current release (and in Insiders for the past days) is huge - even without heaps of output. Those couple of milliseconds improved rendering time matter even if you "only" ls in a directory. Thumbs up

Can't compare to Sublime myself, but the global search got some major overhaul and is doing parallel searches since the last release (1.8). Can't complain about the speed.

Apart from the built in task runner system, you can always use an extension that does a "classic" command-R. I use https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=formulah... and bound it to exactly this key.

The original idea was to focus a lot on the API part of the site, so that developers can build all kinds of apps around the service, hence the name.

Actually, audio/video can be and is used. There is an API for previewing HTML documents, <video> and <audio> tags work perfectly fine.

Commenting out is there, you can search the keyboard shortcut settings to find the proper key. Actually, there are multiple commands on that subject: - editor.action.commentLine toggles comments - editor.action.addCommentLine & editor.a

Good point! I already have double pressing the terminal toggle in my muscle memory, using focus might be worth changing that habit. To "get out" of the terminal, cmd+1 sets focus on the editor again (to be precise: focus on the fi

It does support Github Flavoured Markdown and has a preview mode built in, no extension needed.

I was in quite the same situation, Angular 1.x was quite hard to grok at first. But React just "clicked" instantly. For integration with Rails, I found https://github.com/reactjs/react-rails to be quite usefu

Yep, works. Even without using slashes in the search string.

What you're really looking for is exactly 1 shortcut: cmd+shift-p (or ctrl-shift-p, depending on the platform) for the command palette, where you can fuzzy search for every available command. If a command has a keyboard shortcut (toggl

UserVoice is now deprecated[1], but they are perfectly fine with opening Github issues for feature requests. [1] https://code.visualstudio.com/blogs/2016/08/19/goodbyeuservo...
