I'm glad to hear I'm not the only one - I loved using proportional fonts. I find my ability to scan words is much faster than with monospaced, and I navigate semantically and prefer automated refactors so that I never really felt the need for multi-cursor editing or aligned blocks.
All that came to an end when I worked on a project using F#. It just doesn't work with meaningful whitespace. In the current world, with the prevalence of python, I can't really go back unfortunately. Maybe indenting with tabs is the way after all...
- pmontra 1mo agoI am using my proportional font in Python too. The meaningful spaces are at the beginning of the line. 4 monospaced spaces become 4 narrower spaces, 8 monospaced spaces become 8 narrower spaces and they are still twice as wide as the 4 spaces. I never had problems with Ruby, Python, JS, Elixir, Perl and probably other languages I used a little in the last 15 years or more. HTML and CSS too.
