Softwares
Editor
VS Code
I am using VS Code as my main editor as I'm a JavaScript developer, but I love the comfort of IntelliJ for Java and PhpStorm for PHP if I need to work using these languages.
I sometimes open Vim for some quick changes in the terminal.
Here is a quick listing of the extensions I installed on my VS Code (minus the ones specific to languages):
- Clipboard Manager
edgardmessias.clipboard-manager
- Color Highlight
naumovs.color-highlight
- EditorConfig for VS Code
editorconfig.editorconfig
