Same. Any font that claims to be for programming but includes ligatures gets a "no thanks" from me accompanied by a bit of sadness because they often mar otherwise nicely designed typefaces.

You really don’t have to use the ligatures, do you?

  I don't know about other programs, but iTerm has a checkbox option to enable/disable ligatures.

    So does JetBrains IDE's and VS Code. I don't know of any program that forces you to use ligatures just because the typeface supports it.

      Visual Studio (the full blown IDE)

        Add to settings.json: "editor.fontLigatures": false (Edit: sorry, just realised you were talking about the full blown Visual Studio, not VSCode)

  You don't; there's a checkbox to toggle them, and it defaults to 'off'.

For me it is the reverse, I only want ligatures now and feel a programming font isn’t done until it supports them.

As I know, VSCode, Iterm2, Jetbrains IDEs have ligatures option that we can turn on/off easily.

  Does anyone know how to turn off ligatures in XCode?
