There’s life beyond VSCode… thought I’d share my dev setup:

• Main monitor: WezTerm¹ running in a three (sometimes four)-way split with Helix Editor² as my main editor, a terminal pane for general commands while working, and Yazi³ usually running in another for working with files/directories in a project.

• Other monitor: Sublime Merge⁴ always running full-screen so I can immediately see exactly what I’ve changed (in real time) as I’m working.

Others (not shown): Browser(s) on a third screen and my laptop’s monitor as a fourth screen sometimes for other apps (read: distractions) :)

What’s yours like?

Screenshot of a macOS system with WezTerm running maximised (with a little bit of margin because shiny colourful wallpaper FTW). It’s split into three panes: Helix Editor running in the left with the source code for a file called src/Server.js open. A top-right pane showing unit, regression and end-to-end tests running (179 unit tests passed, 94 regression tests passed, running 7 end-to-end tests, currently at 5/7, running tests/end-to-end/kitten-kawaii-spec.js in Chromium). The lower right pane has Yazi, showing a three-column file system view where the app folder of ~/Projects/kitten/app is selected in the first column, its contents shown in the second, with jsconfig.json selected and the contents of that file showing the final column.
Screenshot of Sublime Merge running maximised, showing 2 unstated files with side-by-side diffs of their changes.

My main dev environment is a bigass nano window over an SSH session through the Tilda terminal with Audiowide font :)

I might pop a couple tabs open in Tilda but that's as advanced as it gets over here lol

@admin Ah, I’d be lost without my language server support, syntax highlighting, etc :)

I have to use a mix of IntelliJ, Eclipse, and occasionally VS Code at work and I get so pissed off at this crap trying to type for me and ending up getting in my way no matter how many autocomplete settings I find and disable...so outside the office I want stuff that's as simple as possible :)

Helps that I'm mostly working on relatively small (<50 file) projects in non-compiled languages too though. And I'm pretty sure some versions of nano do have syntax highlighting at least...sometimes it's there, sometimes it isn't, it's nice to have but I don't notice too much lol

I've been playing with Kate IDE a bit lately. Lots I like, but a few frustration bits I've not ironed out.

That's a neat setup, definitely gonna give sublime a run.

I am delighted to hear that I am not the only one with their own laptop as an extra display for distractions.
Other than that, Emacs and Kitty.

I've got two monitors. Main one in front of me has an Emacs window, with up to a 4-way split, in full screen. It also holds the "Work" browser window, which doesn't get to have e.g. a Mastodon or YouTube tab. 😁 The other screen holds a terminal emulator, with tmux running, as well as multiple tabs if I'm working on my homelab, each with a connection to another machine.

I've been reasonably successful in keeping the browser tabs with the distractions on a separate workspace. 😅
