I’ve noticed that my productivity is directly correlated with the size of the feedback loop. Even little things like inline errors or a particular keybinding that you use can mean a big difference, I feel! Please feel free to share anything—I’d love to hear about your environments!
Keybindings really can make a huge difference, whether they’re existing ones you discover or ones that you create.
I remember discovering VS Code’s default key binding for “going back” to the previous cursor position (going across files), which is Ctrl±. That really reduced the mental load of keeping track of which functions/files I was visiting and made me feel more at ease jumping around, knowing I could easily get back to where I was. If you need more context on some code you’re writing/reading, you can more easily go off on little tangents to gather whatever context you need, and that speeds the whole process up.
