Coding without a code editor or IDE is unimaginable unless you use notepad. So, what's you current editor/IDE setup, you can share your editor/IDE, current theme, current font, some extensions you use and literally anything you want to share about your workflow.
I'm gonna share my setup here đ
- Editor: VS Code
- Terminal: Windows Terminal and Hyper with PowerShell 7
- Theme: Night Owl
- Font: Ubuntu Mono
- Icon Theme: Material Icon Theme
- Some extensions I really like: GitHub Copilot, WakaTime, ESLint and Choose a License.

Here's mine:

I just love your vs code setup, will definitely try out the theme :)
Oooh cool theme!
Nice Theme! Which bracket extension did you use (the one that displays the green line)?
VS Code has built-in bracket colorization and highlighting :)
found it. thank you!
Big fan of Neovim here!
wow amazing.... where did you get guide to setup like this???
I don't have a guide but I'm creating a post to share this setup.
This was my setup until a few weeks ago when I swapped themes and fonts. Well my terminal is different as I am on ubuntu but pretty close.
my VIM is identical to yours, but my OS is Manjaro (Linux) with i3 tiling window manager and the terminal is ST (suckless terminal)
i'm going to be that "vim guy" and that "the os is the ide guy" and say:
"os is the ide guy" so true đ, I occasionally use lunar vim sometimes and I have tried gruvbox on vscode, it was my color theme for around 1 month, one of the coolest themes â„
My Emacs config (and somewhat extensive documentation) is up at [[github.com/jeremyf/dotemacs][githu...]
Man, magit is a life saver, is such a nice and robust way to use git
Just a question, have you used emacs for nodejs development?
I'm trying to convert to emacs 100% but I find difficult to exit vscode "bubble" for nodejs
I haven't done nodens development. But there is eglot and lsp-mode as well as dap support, so I'd imagine it's somewhat smooth.

might try out the theme, looks great
I like the nanotech/jellybeans theme a lot, too.
Github Copilot is pretty cool as well. Also, Tailwind Intellisense +
prettier-plugin-tailwindcssprevent a lot of hassle (the latter is not a VSCode extension tho).You can grab the theme at serendipitytheme.com/, it has been ported to other platforms aswell.

Have a good day!
tried the theme, the color scheme is well chosen and actually resembles catppuccin a lot, the only thing that's an issue for me is that some colors are high contrast and I personally prefer softer colors which don't strain the eyes much, overall the theme looks good â€
Catpuccin?
The color scheme comes from the first version I made marketplace.visualstudio.com/items... but curated.
What theme have you tried? If you have tried the Midnight, yeah they are high contrast because it has been asked from the users, I don't use it personally, I use Sunset V2.
Is just for them :-)
In fact, V1 is only published because they were asking for it to come back :-)
Thank you for the Feddback Ashish, really appreciate
Yes I tried midnight from v2 as I like darker background đ
That explains it,try Sunset. Try Sunset, the text you snot as harsh.
Is my go to.
the theme looks great, will surely give the darker one a try â€
Nice!!
Feel free to drop some feedback !
sure!
there are a lot of sites where you can learn more about vim, I haven't configured mine as I rarely use it, but I use LunarVim which already comes with some cool features, and ben awad made a video which you might want to see:

Hi marcusdiedrich,
You might have a look at SpaceVim, which provides a nicely customized set of Vim plugins to be a full-featured IDE. I've used Vim as my primary editor for 20-some years, and switched to NeoVim + SpaceVim about a year and a half ago, and I really enjoy using it. You don't have to use SpaceVim with NeoVim, but I've found they're a very good combination. I've customized my SpaceVim configuration to look just how I like it. I'd be curious to know if you try it and how you like it.
yo man! I've been using your recommendation SpaceVim and wow have I got to say I am super impressed!! This is definitely the best setup for vim especially when it comes to things like customization, syntax highlighting, and having a file tree or plugin manager all within vim and easy to setup. Honestly now that I've got it all configured I doubt I'll even consider switching to anything else. so thank you for the tip. đ„
Awesome! Really glad you found it useful. I occasionally still use Vim in other configurations, but generally only if I just need a text editor for a quick task. Once I got used to SpaceVim, I haven't really looked back. Especially as I'm often working via an SSH session and latency just isn't an issue as it can be with some other IDEs.
looks great! going to take your advice and setup a similar config with Neovim/Spacevim. thanks for the tip ill let you know how it goes.
Can I install kitty terminal on windows?
Yes. Via wsl
what prompt are you using for hyper, that looks so good đ
Im using pure prompt, thanks!
thanks!
I've used VS Code a lot previously with a custom Rose Pine theme and quite a few extensions but when I work on multiple windows it slows down a lot, especially with TS. Sublime is such a nicer and smoother experience. I still use VS Code but just when I need to do Live Share coding, for all other purposes Sublime is my preferred choice.
looks great
thanks man! I like to keep things simple so not to much going on there.
minimalism is cool đ€
Background: I use macOS.
The M+ font is indispensable for me. It is a very well made free Japanese font. I require that Japanese text in my code perfectly line up with alphabet which M+ is good at but some preinstalled macOS fonts fail to do so!
I like this discussion! It might seem trivial, but it made me check and appreciate the various beautiful fonts that I use besides web font and graphic typography! I also appreciate many of the other recommendations in the post and comments, including Sarah Drasner's Night Owl Theme which I used regularly when VS Code (or rather Codium) was my default code editor. Currently I prefer PhpStorm as a good IDE for fullstack frontend and backend coding.
Here is a screenshot collage of PhpStorm with my three favourite themes (I prefer to switch light and dark themes depending on the surrounding light), Sakura terminal, and the Ubuntu Budgie launcher which brings some MacBook look and feel to Ubuntu Linux:
glad that you liked the discussion, I was able to find out about a lot of new themes, extensions, fonts, and even editors from this whole discussion, so it was definitely a good idea asking the question :)
I love your aesthetic setup, the color scheme, fonts, even the ide and terminal they're complementing each other well â€
