A Life on a Commandline - How to never touch a mouse again. Lightning Talk Proposal for ReactiveConf 2016 (https://reactiveconf.com/)

Proposal for this year's Reactive lightning talks @ReactiveConf - If you want to see my talk, star this gist please :-) Reactive Blogpost


A life on a Commandline

As a JavaScript developer, could you imagine using something else than Atom, Sublime or other IDE-like text-editors? During their daily work, people wrangle a lot with different applications, editors, windows, browsers and loose a lot of time because of their tools getting in their way.

A lot of people are using a terminal window already. So why not just leverage it to its full extent? In this lightning talk, I will present how I will do regular JS / React programming just in one terminal window.

Special rules: I will only use a keyboard - No mouse allowed (Trackpad will be disabled as well)

Tools which will be utilized:

  • iTerm
    • Non-GUI PPT
    • Tmux
    • NeoVim
  • Mandatory stuff (sadly GUI -> will still not use a mouse)
    • Chrome

Things I will demo:

I will show you some tedious code refactoring stuff done in the VIM way and explain how it makes me more efficient in manipulating any plain text I encounter. As a bonus, you will see how @flowtype will help me refactor my code so much more easily.

Also there will be a lot of artistic value in it, since I will sport some visual effects during the whole presentation :-)

Check out Vimium and get rid of the mouse for Web surfing as well!
