What accounting software would you recommend for first-time entrepreneurs? Are their any open-source solutions that can be self hosted that integrate with existing solutions?

I am just starting my journey into entrepreneurship, and have yet to choose a bank or accounting software, and would appreciate guidance. I am based in the UK, and will only be conducting business in the UK to start off with.

How do you exit the find text, selection mode (⌘E, ⌘G)? I have tried pressing the escape key, with no luck.

I have had some luck with working across Linux and MacOS. I prefer MacOS shortcuts and use https://github.com/rbreaves/kinto to use MacOS shortcuts on an Ubuntu machine.

I also use JetBrains’s products extensively. I used to have on intellij settings repository for all products (PHPStorm, PyCharm, Webstorm), but I found the same issue that the settings wouldn’t sync in the way I wanted. I now have separate settings repositories for each product. This seems to be working better, although, it does require copying new shortcuts to each product.

I haven’t tried solely using IntelliJ Ultimate, so maybe I will see if I can configure that to work for different programming languages. I have been reluctant to do so, because the appeal of IntelliJ for me is that it makes it easy to work with a programming language. I don’t want to have to configure IntelliJ Ultimate when I want to use Kotlin or want to use Python. Maybe it has a nice way of handling that?
