My current development setup

• Editor (Webstorm)

  • Syntax Highlighting Base: https://darekkay.com/blog/monokai-theme-intellij/
  • My customised Higlighting: /Documents/macOS/DK Monokai.jar
  • Font: Dank Mono with Ligatures enabled
  • Usually enable: ESLint and Prettier
  • Don't forget to exlude dist folders from indexing (right click on folder in project-structure)

• Keyboard Settings (Keychron K2)

• fn + k + c to make function keys behave like functions keys on macOS

• Keyboard Shortcuts

  • Open things 3 = CMD + SHIFT + 7
  • Open things helper = CMD + SHIFT + 8
  • Launch Raycast = CMD + Space
  • Next Project Window = ⌥ + TAB
  • Previous Project Window ⌥ + SHIFT + TAB
  • Complex Modifications in Karabiner
  • MAP FN + E,S,D,F TO ARROW_UP,ARROW_LEFT,ARROW_DOWN,ARROW_RIGHT json + option + shift + and command key variants from https://github.com/DATADEER/macos-setup. Copy them into /Users/lucca/.config/karabiner/assets/complex_modifications then activate them in "Complex Modifications" -> "Add predefined rule".

• Keyboard Layout

• Now using EurKEY 1.2 Layout for ANSI Keyboards, because it has much better support for umlauts than traditional US Keyboard layouts.

• OS Settings

  • Key Repeat = Fast
  • Delay Until Repeat = Short
  • Disable Keyboard Shortcuts -> Input Sources -> Both Options
  • Disabled ApplePressAndHoldEnabled suggestions because they tend to swallow keyspresses if you type fast defaults write -g ApplePressAndHoldEnabled -bool false (not a problem if you only use apple keyboards)

• Software

• Brave Browser

• Homebrew

• iTerm (Fix1)

• ohmyzsh

• TablesPlus (for Redis and PostGresQL)
