• Ask HN: Other than VS Code, are there any good IDEs for remote development?

  There there use to be a stronger distinction between Text Editors and IDE’s. Of course there is a wide spectrum from something like ‘nano’ to Microsoft’s Visual Studio (not VScode) On macOS, BBEdit has had SFTP since the late 1990s. BBEdit is probably closer to the Text Editor than IDE when compared to VSCode https://www.barebones.com/products/bbedit/ Also on macOS, Panic’s recent Nova editor includes SFTP.

• How VSCode made bracket pair colorization 10,000x faster

  > Meanwhile, everyone is absolutely free to create a native VSCode clone. But that isn't happening at least for now. I think Nova[1] is generally angling for that spot on Mac. I really wanted to embrace it, and someday if I have a bunch of free time to indulge my curiosity I may well do. But… > Everyone hates VSCode, but nobody ever has managed to offer a competing alternative. This, plus even trying a new editor... - Source: Hacker News / 11 months ago

• Best learning tools for arbitrary layouts?

  Suggest you leave a message via the Support section of Tyoe Fu webpage with description of this peculiar behaviour 😳. Source: about 1 year ago

• I can type at 100wpm with my 2 index fingers - should I learn to touch type?

  What really forced me to learn is when I got a keyboard with blank keycaps. But short of that, I found it pretty effective to do some typing practice where the text is computer code. See e.g. Type-Fu and in the "Lesson" drop down select "Code.". Source: almost 2 years ago

• Practicing special characters

  So it's helpful to do some targeted touch typing exercises for symbols. I've found it useful, though boring, to exercise on text that is purely a random sequence of symbols. This at least forced me to remember which symbols are at which key positions. Alternatively you could practice on a sample of code. In Type Fu, you can practice on code samples by selecting "Code" in the "Lesson" drop down. Source: almost 2 years ago

• Writing when you can't type?

  I used Type-fu when I finally decided to learn how to touch type properly. It worked just fine, it only took a few hours to learn how to place my hands correctly and finding the correct keys with my fingers. Source: over 2 years ago

• Mavis Beacon

  Mavis Beacon is how I learned to touch type 25 years ago! For a great modern app with a lot of features check out https://type-fu.com/ The MacOS app is nice and it also works on the web and other platforms. - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago
