For the unaware, this is inspired by the [/uses](https://uses.tech) page idea

## Text Editor

These days, I'm generally running [Claude Code](https://claude.com/product/claude-code) paired with Claude's Opus 4.7 model at work.

Beyond that, I'll often pop open Neovim with a default [Lunarvim](https://www.lunarvim.org/) configuration. I don't know any shortcuts besides moving around, deleting/pasting lines and existing.

Sometimes I'll reach for [Sublime Text](https://www.sublimetext.com) when it comes to large files or just wanting a scratchpad. I actually did buy a license!

## Terminal

Currently, I use [Ghostty](https://ghostty.org) with [JetBrainsMono Nerd Font Mono](https://www.programmingfonts.org/#jetbrainsmono) 12pt and the [Catppuccin Macchiato](https://github.com/catppuccin/ghostty) colour scheme.

Everything else is stock and unconfigured.

## Computers

- Macbook Air M1 as my personal laptop
- Macbook Pro M4 16-inch as my work laptop
	- I was running a Framework with EndeavourOS but I got tired of fiddling with window managers that would crash
	- I also missed iOS/macOS interop like copying on your phone and pasting on your laptop
- Custom built desktop running [EndeavourOS](https://endeavouros.com/).
  - I play games with a mix of keyboard and mouse, as well as a standard green Xbox One controller.
  - I have some Razer mouse I got a while back but I don't use any of the features.
  - For a window manager, it's just running stock KDE which is nice and boring
- I use a [Dygma Defy](https://dygma.com/pages/defy) with a [Logitech MX Ergo S](https://www.logitech.com/en-nz/shop/p/mx-ergo-s-wireless-trackball-mouse.910-007261) at work.
- I use a Daylight Computer for reading articles, books and manga
- I also have a smaller Boox Tab Mini C that I sometimes use for reading articles and books on the go
