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).

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!

I'm primarily a vim user so I use a terminal a lot. I use a modified San Francisco Mono to be a Nerd font and setup my purple AF layout. Read more on my GitHub: github.com/jakew/dotfiles

It's a little out of date as I use zsh for my shell now, Dank Mono for font and Night Owl is my go to theme these days, but the rest is pretty much the same.
Editor: Neovim
Font: Fira Code
Theme: Nord
Terminal: kitty
Shell: fish
Pretty much the same, but I'm on Mac so iTerm is the terminal and shell is zsh
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
This wallpaper is the best! 😍
pretty much the same as me!
mine is:
Editor: Neovim
Font: Heavily-Modified-Using-Glyph.App-Ligaturized-Font
Theme: Gruvbox
Terminal: kitty
Shell: fish
on mac here
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!
I love your wallpaper there, care to share?
Ohhhh!! What is this blue wallpaper with the cat? :) where can I download by any chance?
Editor: VsCode
Font: Hack
Theme: Slack Theme Aubergine Dark
Terminal: VsCode terminal
I had to flip my phone to find the extensions
The really like the brown in the Kimbie Dark theme (VSCode)
Edit: the picture upload's not working
It works, you just have to insert it with markdown.
Ahh got it - thanks for the tip!
Editor: IntelliJ / PyCharm / CLion
Font: Menlo
Theme: Dracula
Terminal: Bash (although moving to OhMyZsh soon)
I'm actually utilizing almost the exact same setup as you! twinsies!

Love this theme!
I forgot to mention the use of the Peacock extension from John Papa. dev.to/john_papa/peacock---choose-...
Beautiful setup.
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)
Thanks. yes, the built in terminal is great!
Oh yeah it's a big time saver
