Getting Better at Webstorm

Notes for myself:

  • Use the shortcut keys! 
    • Palua allows you to choose which applications to use the Function key vs Apple keys (Webstorm uses the function keys a lot) https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/palua/id431494195?mt=12
  • Install the shortcut reminder plug-in (displays shortcut alternatives whenever you use the mouse instead)
  • Use the terminal when possible inside webstorm
    • You can even create multiple tabs
  • Use Ctrl + Space a lot. You can use it to fuzzy find a relative path for a file reference. You can use it to find library attributes (might need to load it in first in the project).
  • Use Emmet abbreviations when you can. A few short ones, is better than one long one. Paraphrasing them!
