  • In VSCode, you can enable multiple cursors by clicking on the desired positions while holding down Alt/Option. I think they’re enabled by default when making block selections (CBA to remember the modifiers you have to press while drawing a selection with the mouse). And to cover a whole file, first use Find to find the thing you want to change, then hit Alt/Option+Enter to select every instance of the subject string. Now any edit you make will affect every instance.

    Basic stuff, but I see a lot of people not really taking advantage of the tools they might’ve been using for years.











  • From personal experience, 11 can’t do vertical taskbars and the hack that restores 10’s taskbar isn’t entirely bug-free and can be shut down on a whim by MS with an update removing the functionality.

    From what I’ve read, 11 is a privacy nightmare with Recall and the ever-worsening insistence on having a fucking MS account to log in to your PC locally. Sorry I meant your self-serve surveilance and ad-targeting appliance.

    Having to fight the anti-features and dumbing down of a piece of hardware you supposedly own to keep it usable and useful to you, not the mothership, with hacks of varying reliability… What part of that sounds like something you would want to spend any of your money or time on?
