Did you know you can overwrite app shortcuts on MacOS? This is possible under the general Settings > Keyboard > Shortcuts. Just select the app and customize the shortcut keys to your preference!

Geïnspireerd door de livestream van @enunomaduro, waarin hij PHP Peck (een code spellchecker) ontwikkelde, heb ik deze kerstvakantie gestart met een Laravel-package voor het OCR'en van afbeeldingen en PDF's.

This is the way. You can even mark your implementations as final and Ultra Mock won't complain 👌.
I got tired of mocking frameworks in class-based languages, so I created the simplest, most compatible, and most powerful mocking library that I could imagine. It's great for PHP / Java and other class-based languages.
