hey man, thats a good serie. for the next ones you could put shortcuts for copy line, delete line, move lines up and down and ident lines back and forward. That ones also help me a lot

Haven't thought about those yet, but I also use them quite a bit, I will create a post about them in a later part of the series for sure. Thanks for the suggestion!

CTRL + SHIFT + L

I was doing the exact same thing before I learned about it. It's the best when you are working with large source files.
