I don't think I'll be going back to #git.

#jj #jujitsu #vcs is so powerful with straightforward commands. This is swapping two commits. (Screenshots to show colours, alt has the console text.)

#Zed selection backgrounds are way too subtle for me. My fix to override the theme:

"experimental.theme_overrides": {
"editor.document_highlight.bracket_background": "#B00",
"editor.document_highlight.write_background": "#500",
"editor.document_highlight.read_background": "#550"
},
Before: The cursor is on a symbol, and has the symbol background highlighted across the file, but the highlight is subtle and hard to spot. After: The cursor is on a symbol, and has the symbol background highlighted across the file. With my config changes, it shows a more obvious green background for read access and red background for write access.

Too much debugging? #bevy #gameDev
A screenshot of a game with a wall of debugging text and a bunch of debug gizmo lines behind it. The whole thing looks overwhelming.

OMG why have I never tried this inline macro suggestion? #zed #rust
Hovering over the macro in: `let (transform, collider, mass) = get_entity_error_return!(colliders, entity);` with rust-analyzer suggesting "Inline macro". Macro is gone, and now expanded to: ```rust let (transform, collider, mass) = match colliders.get(entity){ Ok(v) => v, Err(err) => { error!("query entity lookup failed over {}: {err} at {}:{} ",stringify!(colliders),file!(),line!()); return; } ```

I thought this looked familiar! I have fond memories of Wing Commander III.
The banner of a steam game called "Starcom: Unknown Space" with 3 characters, one being a lion with a space background and a ship. the hero of an old game called "Wing Commander III" with 3 characters, one being a lion with a space background and a ship.

Procrastinating with my #zed keymap config!

I never use enter and backspace in #vim normal mode. Why not use them for other mappings!
{ "context": "VimControl && !menu && vim_mode == normal && multibuffer", "bindings": { "enter": "editor::OpenExcerpts" } }, { "context": "VimControl && !menu && vim_mode == normal", "bindings": { "enter": "editor::GoToDefinition", "cmd-enter": "editor::GoToTypeDefinition", "backspace": "pane::GoBack" } },

I don't really know what's going on, but can guess you build out your ship while fighting off enemies? Looks pretty cool so far. Wishlisted!

Some feedback:

How good is using emoji to help with identifiers? I totally would have thought these were the same #bevy entity if I didn't have emoji!

My #rust crate `hashmoji` does this if you're interested! crates.io/crates/hashm...
Bevy console output showing 4 lines of logging referring to entity numbers 🐸39, 🐸39, 🐸39, then 💗391.
