You wrote you want a full keyboard with F keys, arrow, and numpad - but it can be compact too.

What would be an example of that combination?

Try a backlit keyboard, especially for late night coding sessions. But that will likely conflict with the Bluetooth requirement. Does not have to be per key rgb; a fixed single color will be good enough.

Checking the diff before commit, solve merge conflicts

Also if it's well integrated into the IDE it feels less like using a separate tool. For 95% of what I do the ide/gui feels better (fetch, pull, push, commit, checkout, merge). Usually just 2-4 clicks and no need to type the branch name (ticket number and then some)

For Reflog, reset I use the terminal.

If I had to start github desktop or another seperate gui I would use the terminal that's integrated into the IDE.

One way to get the data is to render to a (hidden) surface/canvas. It's just bytes to the computer, so just dump the result data in the display buffer. Then you take a "screenshot" and interpret the RGBA values as data.

Great suggestion by a fellow IT student to try arch, so I learn the system from the ground up.

Easy access to small snippets of code you often need, but putting them in their own library would be crazy.

• Opening a file / db connection
• parsing xml/json/... ,
• template for unit tests,
• import and initialization of framework at work.

Depending on the IDE snippets can also move parts of the code around: (intellij live templates)

• variable.notnull -> if (variable != null) {... }
• "text %s".format -> String.format("text %s",...)

Not exactly what you want, but plug-ins like sonarlint can nudge you in the right direction.

Since you already know js, consider trying typescript. If you want learn/train more than just algorithm / problem solving.

It can work if you have a test zone and only a small amount of people work on a given code base.

Also checks to ensure the code compiles and tests pass before merging, as some quality gateway.

Your performance is off the charts!

The tight Integration of the debugger is a huge benefit over what a text editor would provide.

Sure you possibly can add all the stuff to some text editors too, if you spend enough time / energy.

The 2nd is the style guide used in C#, and therefore what you've encountered in unity.

Maybe also bias by the number / experience of people using it.

Go on the other hand likely isn't a common choice / option for a first language.

Give the windows registry a shot.

but then why would they ask candidates to write functions like binary tree traversal from scratch during interviews? /s

Seems fitting for points 1 and 2 XD

Creating an array of the function calls, and joining those seems more readable in that case.

Plus you don't have to take care that you use the correct number of placeholders.
