I have FINALLY gotten my code editor to be my ideal setup. But now I'm curious, what does your code editor/IDE look like?
Editor
I'm using VS Code. Although I've used Sublime Text and Atom Editor previously, I've found VSCode to be the winner.
Font
I'm using the font Dank Mono. It's a paid font; it cost me about 40 British pounds, but is definitely worth it. Fira Code is a free alternative with ligatures (the cursive-style and connecting lines which make code editors beautiful).
Dank Mono
Fira Code
Theme
I'm currently using the Dracula theme for my editor. Although I tend to flip flop between Dracula and Night Owl by Sarah Drasner and Pink Cat Boo.

Terminal
My code terminal is setup using OhMyZsh. Ali Spittel has a fun blog post all about terminal setup if you're interested in learning more!
Post pictures of your setup below!

Gruvbox is the best thing ever, am I rigth?
Yes! I discovered it for VSCode at first, then noticed I can make my kitty and nvim to use it.
Calming colors!
Hey would u mind share with me your exp with ligaturized-font. It's the font the put free-font glyph in any other font right ?
I used glyphsapp.com to edit specific characters (for instance, the italicized "s") or rearrange the unicode char to be used as normal char.
And then, I converted it to be ligature with github.com/ToxicFrog/
hope that explains!
This wallpaper is the best! 😍
I love fish, but I swapped off of it when I started writing more documentation because I needed my examples to be backward compatible with bash. 😭
You can always use the bass fisher plugin if you want bash compatibility. That way you can run bash scripts with bass script.sh
It's what I do to get fish to play nice with /etc/profile
I love your wallpaper there, care to share?
Pretty much the same, but I'm on Mac so iTerm is the terminal and shell is zsh
Ohhhh!! What is this blue wallpaper with the cat? :) where can I download by any chance?
I forgot to mention the use of the Peacock extension from John Papa. dev.to/john_papa/peacock---choose-...
Love this theme!
Lovely theme (and on a side note, I'm just realising that you can view and work from the terminal directly from VSCode. So helpful)
Oh yeah it's a big time saver
Thanks. yes, the built in terminal is great!
Beautiful setup.
Ack! OCD Moment incoming! MUST. RESIST. PLAYING. WITH. EDITOR. SETTINGS!!!!!!

Also, I keep the Panda theme in rotation too!
do you actually like powershell, or do you just use it because windows?
I think it’s a neat idea! It puts object oriented programming into the command line, which is cool. I’m usually more quick/productive in Bash-y environments, but I enjoy powershell. It’s a gazillion times better than windows older command line environment.
For me it takes the worst parts of a shell and a scripting language and combines them on top of some .net layer
I've written a bunch of scripts at work and I still despise it
I wrote this post about it! I don’t know if it helps you, but it explains a bit better why I like it 😁
If you are stuck in a corporate windows build without a linux subsystem you can run Git Bash as the VS Code terminal dev.to/simbo1905/how-to-integrate-...
Hi, are you using Windows? If yes, how did you manage to install zsh? Thanks in advance :)
If you’re on Windows 10, you can install Windows Subsystem Linux which is like a little mini Ubuntu or Debian (or some others) that live inside your windows install and play nicely. Vs code has a remote sessions extension that lets you use vs code as if you were inside that mini Linux, but with your Windows file system. It’s pretty great. If this isn’t quite enough detail, shoot me a DM here on DEV and I can help you get it set up! 😁
Oh thank you, got it! I’ll try in the following days and in case I have problems I’ll DM you! Thank you very much :)
Good luck!
I tried to install zsh in wsl. But couldn't install the power line fonts for theming.
I have 2 posts regarding this, you’ll be quickly setup

How did you setup your terminal like that. Would love to do mine as well
Hi bro... i'm using Powerline for fish.. you can check this out here.. if you using windows, then install WSL first.

And finally the list of plugins I use (using Pathogen)
Hi Damir,
vim forever!
Are you able to configure vim on the framebuffer?
I really recommend it - you can have bold, italic, more colors.
I will share my vim screenshot in the general discussion to see...
Please do, thnx 👍
P.S.
Now you know why my username is vimmer 😄
I did not know how to make screenshot on the framebuffer, but I just succeed to make one and posted it, sorry for the delay.
Nice to meet you, vimmer :)

Hi Emma 👋,
I use Spacemacs which is basically Vim on Emacs! I use the default theme most of the time. I worked on my own theme that was easier on my eyes, but I sort of abandoned that project. It might be something I revisit soon.
In my terminal, I use iTerm2 with OhMyZsh and a private fork of Thoughtbot's dotfiles. It looks something like this:
wow, emacs + vim, gotta try it out

Here's my VS Code Setup.

It's a little out of date as I use zsh for my shell now, Dank Mono for font and Night Owl is my go to theme these days, but the rest is pretty much the same.
Ohhh great topic Emma!
