Yes. I use ligatures on my system (Windows) and this is true in all IDEs, editors and terminal Windows, including when I SSH to a Linux system and use vim.
It really becomes seamless, and you get used to it in a similar way to syntax highlighting or high resolution screen. Yes, I can code on 768p laptop screen with laggy input and a crappy keyboard, but it's not as nice as my usual workstation.
- seanmcdirmid 5y agoI tried it in Visual Studio (not Code) once, and was disappointed by the experience. Perhaps they just got it wrong. Now if only there are any proportional coding fonts with coding ligatures baked in :p.
- NelsonMinar 5y agoI think NF Code does? https://github.com/sgigou/NF-Code https://github.com/sgigou/NF-Code Input and Go Font are the two main coding proportional fonts I know. Neither advertise ligature support. There are hacks to copy ligatures from Fira Code in to other fonts but I don't know if they would work for this purpose. https://github.com/ToxicFrog/Ligaturizer https://github.com/ToxicFrog/Ligaturizer
- seanmcdirmid 5y agoAwesome! I'll definitely take a look at those.
