i find visual studio code weirdly unusable and it's taken me years to work out why: the fucking hand cursor. all the clickable UI elements change the mouse cursor to a goddamn hand! and theres no way to switch it off. my workaround every time i encounter this issue every couple years is to close visual studio code and uninstall it
@jk does vscode not give access to its css? if it does a simple fix would just be *{cursor: pointer !important}
@dogo maybe it does! looking at the settings i can't find a way to inject user CSS, it looks like they assemble the styling from a bunch of variables in the settings page, so there's probably some kind of CSS template somewhere, but possibly not supposed to be user-editable? (also not sure whether that'd override the text selection I-beam cursor too?)
@jk ah yeah itll prolly override the i beam, you may need to add another override or just target only the offending divs instead
@jk ive never messed much w vscode mind u, much prefer sublime text
@dogo yeah sublime text has been my go-to for like 10 years, it just feels a lot nicer and snappier to me
@jk @dogo sublime text gang rise up, outlasting them all
@wilbr @dogo there's definitely things i'd change about it, i'd prefer more actual GUIs in the program since i'm not a huge fan of json files for configuration or having to access frequently-used functions through the command palette. also for code-editing it'd be nice to have a symbol browser in the sidebar? but other than those it's essentially perfect software
@wilbr @dogo weirdly enough i adore the blender command palette and use it constantly, so maybe it's because blender isn't already about editing text, so using a text-input UI to edit 3D models seems okay but using a text-input UI to edit text feels weird? or maybe the key combo or the search accuracy in the blender one is better or something
@jk @dogo how dare you imply that the UX of SublimeText should be more like the UX of Blender. Gulag
@wilbr i think the blender UI is good now but i don't know how much of that is it actually getting better or me getting used to it
@wilbr i do think that it's literally the only big software application, like, seriously large with an extremely broad number of features, that is actually getting better over time
