Suggestion for the "monitor" problem - code in a quake-style terminal such as yakuake or iTerm2's hotkey window. Vim and sublime work excellently here. Add a hair of transparency so that you can read your reference material "through" the console screen. And of course, tmux. Between that and getting browser hotkeys into muscle memory, I managed to shrink my development/debug environment down from 2 19" monitors to a single 13" laptop screen. And when it's been necessary, I can happily go smaller.
