I've got a few visual studio tips here: https://jackmott.github.io/programming/tools/editor/ide/visu...

I'm not familiar with jetbrains but if you can probably find equivalents for all those VS tips in jetbrains.

are you one of my interns? haha.

It can be worthwhile to at least partially master emacs/vim as well, since these exist on all platforms, can be very powerful, can use them when remoted into a tiny linux cloud box via a terminal, etc etc.

Thanks for the links! Gunna have to check those out today. I've heard that many of the hot keys in VS are very similar to the ones used by JetBrains.

For the highly customizable text editor like emacs (the better one) or vim, start with a the editor from scratch and build it out. Look for the 'popular' configurations in the editor's community and glean cool snippets from it. That is what I did with emacs and once you get in that discovery and tinker state of mind, you will always learn something new that just blows your mind and makes your life easier.

The TL;DR: dive head first into some editor and try to immerse yourself in the thinking of the editor.

Learn the multi-line edit thing in Sublime Text (or equivalent in your editor or IDE). Once mastered, make sure you do this brazenly in front of as many people as possible - it will blow their minds and probably get you an instant promotion.

you, i like you, you're funny.

For anyone that uses sublime text 3, the package sublime tutor[1] is very interactive and thorough.
