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
• Error Lens usernamehw.errorlens
• Gitlab Merge Request Upvotes yoannfleurydev.gitlab-merge-request-upvotes
• GitLens - Git Supercharged eamodio.gitlens
• Indent Rainbow oderwat.indent-rainbow
• Live Share ms-vsliveshare.vsliveshare
• Prettier - Code formatter esbenp.prettier-vscode
• Project Manager alefragnani.project-manager
• Template String Converter meganrogge.template-string-converter

I use Dracula color theme for almost all my applications and JetBrains Mono as a monospace font. I have used Cascadia Code and Fira Code in the past.

Terminal

iTerm2 is my terminal of choice, I have also used Alacritty on Linux. As a Shell, I'm using Fish and the prompt is powered by Starship.
