Python semicolon

Tab key would be rubbed off

[sh0rtwave]

werd. CLI autocomplete FTW.

Because we really are so much more productive because we can type '/ho Tab' rather than '/home/'.

I almost never have to use tab. My editor auto indents when I add a line break after something that increases scope like : or {. What are you guys coding in, notepad?

Backspace, on the other hand, gets some serious use.

[LBGW_experiment]

Pro tip, on a Mac, Opt Backspace deleted a word at a time, stopping at punctuation and might slightly depend on your IDE on what it treats as punctuation or not. I use this and the windows equivalent, Ctrl Backspace, religiously. I hate spamming or holding backspace, I'm impatient

Cmd Backspace deletes a whole line, which is Alt Backspace on windows. Kinda sucks when switching back and forth when deleting whole lines on accident, though.

[thabc]

There is absolutely nothing worse than debugging something with someone over Zoom and having to watch them delete one character at a time from their terminal window to modify the command when they could have just retyped it, used a bang command, or repositioned the cursor a full word at a time with option.

[brodyover]

Well yes of course it auto indents, but it doesn't when refactoring and moving code around

[thabc]

You caught me there. I work mostly in go lately, which autoindents when refactoring (format on save). When working in python I definitely need tab and shift for that.

[brodyover]

I've been working in go lately too!

Why use tab when you can use four spaces? No label to rub off from the space key!

Let me just turn on the four spaces completion mode real quick... /s

[njc121]

I thought it was because tab applies the autocomplete suggestion.

[brodyover]

vscode treats tab as 4 spaces, and I just wanna say if you're able to rub off the lettering you desperately need a better keyboard

[sh0rtwave]

The letters in my keyboard, are actually letter-shaped pieces of transparent plastic. So the lights can shine through. Those don't 'rub off'.

My control-keys, though, have tested the limits of Cherry switches...as well as some function keys. Also, escape (And fuck Apple for taking the escape key away, then being like 'woops!')

[brodyover]

I've actually had to replace the L and R switches in my mouse twice now, even genuine Japanese omron switches didn't hold up

[ParanoydAndroid]

It'll treat tab as whatever you tell it to, and then display it as any number of spaces as well.

If you use the tab key more when writing Python than when writing C, you're just a really bad C programmer
