Dev Tools Command Cheatsheet

High-frequency VSCode shortcuts covering the Command Palette, multi-cursor editing, file & code navigation, refactoring, debugging and Git integration. For developers who want to stop reaching for the mouse while refactoring and switching files — both macOS and Win/Linux keybindings are listed.

Emacs keystrokes covering file & buffer operations, cursor movement and editing, search/replace, window management, keyboard macros and Org-mode, with the C/M prefix conventions explained. For terminal or no-GUI editing where Vim-style modal editing is not an option.

Prompt-design patterns and templates for ChatGPT: role assignment, task framing and step breakdown, output-format constraints, few-shot examples and chain-of-thought steering — with common office, coding and writing scenarios. For turning vague asks into consistent, controllable model output.

Pandoc conversion commands across Markdown/HTML/PDF/DOCX/EPUB interchange, Chinese PDF typesetting and fonts, custom templates and styles, slides and e-books, citations and math. For converting documents without re-keying content or breaking layout.

Homebrew commands for installing/updating/removing formulas, managing Cask GUI apps, starting and stopping services, switching to domestic mirrors, and inspecting dependencies and debugging broken installs. For keeping a macOS dev environment reproducible.

XPath selector syntax: node paths, predicate filtering, axis navigation, string/functions and wildcard/logic, plus XML/HTML parsing and scraping patterns. For locating elements precisely in XML, HTML or config files without brittle regex.

mitmproxy commands covering startup modes and ports, flow filters, request/response interception and editing, Python script injection, and HTTPS certificate installation. For inspecting and mutating API traffic when curl or browser DevTools can't capture it.

Postman operations covering request building, environment/global variables, test scripts and assertions, pre-request scripts and dynamic data, and collection runs with Mock servers. For debugging APIs beyond a single curl call.

Chrome DevTools operations covering the Elements panel and DOM breakpoints, Console tips, Network analysis and request replay, Performance/Profiler flame graphs, and Application storage. For diagnosing layout, network and runtime issues in the browser.

Figma shortcuts covering tool switching and frames, layer management and grouping, alignment and layout, component/style creation, view navigation and exports. For speeding up UI mockup work for designers and design-engineers.

IntelliJ IDEA shortcuts covering code navigation, editing and refactoring, code generation and completion, run/debug and stepping, VCS/Git integration, and window layout. For Java/Kotlin developers who want to drive the IDE instead of the IDE driving them.

Sublime Text shortcuts covering basic editing and code folding, multi-cursor and bulk editing, quick navigation, search/replace, split windows and layout, plus snippets and autocompletion. For developers on a featherweight editor who still want serious editing power.

WebStorm shortcuts (JetBrains keymap) covering editing and formatting, completion and generation, navigation/search, refactoring, running/debugging, Git integration and layout. For JS/TS frontend developers who want JetBrains-level tooling on the keyboard.

PhpStorm shortcuts covering PHP-specific code generation, Laravel/Symfony framework navigation, database tooling, debugging/run and static-quality checks. For PHP/Magento/Laravel developers who want framework-aware jumps from the keyboard.

Android Studio shortcuts covering Kotlin/Java generation and navigation, the layout editor, Gradle build and sync, emulator keys, run/debug, and Logcat/Profiler panels. For Android developers whose loop is edit → build → run inside one IDE.

GitHub shortcuts covering global navigation, repo browsing and file search, code search, Issue/PR operations, code review and commenting, and Markdown editing. For moving around GitHub without lifting hands off the keyboard during review-heavy workflows.

GitLab shortcuts covering global navigation, repo browsing and file search, code search, Issue/MR operations, review (MR approvals/threads) and Markdown editing. For teams on self-hosted GitLab who live in the review flow.

Vite cheat sheet — complete command reference for project scaffolding, the dev server, production build, environment variables, plugins, proxy and SSR builds, plus how Vite's workflow differs from Webpack-era tooling.
