Yes. Do this and also replace all tabs in your files with four spaces.

One thing that people notice about me right away is that I like using ctrl+l to jump straight to the address bar. They might say "whoa, how'd you do that?" or "wow cool!". Can't say I blame them for not knowing about such a weird shortcut.

this is one of those things that you adapt to so quickly that it's really difficult to remember how you got on without it

I think it's kinda sad that there are no browser extensions that will constrain the browser to a single page view. It could be useful for mennonites and such

80 is great so you can side-by-side that poo poo, have that poo poo appear in a web page without shitloads of line breaks if your browser isn't fullscreen, etc.

120 would probably be okay in most contexts though

just turn on word wrap

if you have long lines you want to align, you can always zoom out a bit temporarily

Tabs go on the bottom for that ~*spreadsheet feel*~

The side tabs have the text the wrong way round. Only in French is this an acceptable rotation.

op, a 40� 4k monitor has a higher ppi than a 27� 1440p or a 20� 1080p(lol) while having much more space to view shitposts on.

same but win+r, or just hitting win and typing to open apps instead of using the mouse, or win e to get a windows explorer window

i use a lot of win key shortcuts actually, win+break to get the System control panel is a good one

meh it's okay i guess but i wish it would do it more intelligently, like i wish it would do

code:

void poopz() {
    fartz(buttz,
          dongz);
}

instead of

code:

void poopz() {
    fartz(buttz,
    dongz);
}

i've only checked this in emacs (with adaptive-wrap) and visual studio though, dunno about other editors/ides

ime visual studio is pretty good about copying the same spacing of the previous line when doing multiline params or lovely linq chains
