Keyboard Shortcuts
Nice PickDevelopers should learn keyboard shortcuts to boost efficiency, reduce context switching, and minimize repetitive strain from mouse usage, especially in intensive coding sessions or when working with complex IDEs like Visual Studio Code or IntelliJ IDEA
Pros
- +They are essential for tasks like code navigation, refactoring, debugging, and version control operations, enabling faster development cycles and improved focus on logic rather than interface interaction
- +Related to: ide-navigation, text-editing
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case

Pros
- +It is essential for tasks such as selecting text, dragging files, using context-sensitive menus for refactoring, and interacting with graphical design tools like Figma or Adobe XD
- +Related to: keyboard-shortcuts, touchpad-navigation
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
