btw, I couldn't replicate the alt-f s scenario, it opens the file menu, saves the file and doesn't lose focus from the editor.

Heh to me, ctrl-s is move cursor left one character position. I'm an old fart who used WordStar in the CP/M days and I really like the WordStar cursor control movements. Basically, all my editors and IDE's (even Microsoft Word or Libre Office) use WordStar control sequences (or appear to!). I have an AutoHotKey script that changes my WordStar control sequences into the appropriate keystrokes for particular editor/IDE I'm using at the time. I also use and old ZiffDavis utility (TradeKeys) to make the Cap Locks into the control key.
Before I retired, it was quite funny watching an IT guys trying to use notepad when they had to mess with my machine.

Try JetBrains Rider. It's much better than Visual Studio.

I like JetBrains Rider. But it's a rather overkill to edit Javascript files in an Angular app.

For JavaScript, use the Google Chrome source debugger tab with a workspace mapping.
Pause your javascript at a breakpoint and start editing!
You will get "live intellisense" on all of your referenced objects based on their current state.

Well, it also has much better support for TypeScript and Angular than Visual Studio Code. For minor typo fixes Notepad++ might be fine, but if you need any real work done you should always fire-up full fledged IDE like Rider or Visual Studio.

I keep a subscription to the intellij allpack. I have Rider when/if I need to do .net stuff. Otherwise I'm in the web|phpStorm.
Of coarse I am a javascript dev so most of my stuff is flavors javascript and bash.

Javascript is my favorite language.
I don't think I've actually programmed c# for 4+ years now. I've done some debugging and a couple of fixes deployed but that's about it. I used to program c# for a living, and I liked it just fine. I prefer typescript to c# now though.

ah, so you're really programming in C# then... without .net

Yeah there's that. I also do regular ES6 without typescript, but mostly typescript.

VC++ 6.0 ruined everything for me. I still use VS2008 just because of the editor. I really miss BRIEF...

Brief by UnderWare, Inc.
I wrote my own "intellisense" modules in their LISP-like macro language to load the C language structures for our database out of the header files into a popup menu.
Hot key, pick the table, pick the column, hit enter to insert into the editor.
Also, I loved the fact that you could load files larger than physical memory within a blink of an eye.
You had to go to lunch when you were ready to "make" your project which was only 150 .c files. (45 minutes to build on a 12Mhz i286)
Now I have a machine that will build 30,000 much larger source files in 4 minutes!

Amen. Loved the macro language. jEdit is sort of similar and does have an extensive macro capability.

Yeh, I was a Brief user for a long time, and then most editors provided good Brief emulation for a good while after that. So I had those keys in my fingers and it was hard to change.

These editors should not be written in Javascript.

NO. NO. Do NOT do that.

Fortunately CodeWright works just fine in Windows 7, and I'm not afflicted with tabbed documents. I can edit multiple files at a time and see all of them that will fit across my wide monitor.
