IntelliJ IDEA: Font Ligatures

Sometimes it's the little things that bring joy to us when we are writing our code, like being able to use these symbols as operators with our variables and values rather than using these symbols. Are you wondering why? Because this is how we have been writing these symbols naturally, and this is how our IDEs or editors might render them, which doesn't look great.

But what are these symbols and how can you use them in IntelliJ IDEA? I'll answer all these questions in this video.

Thanks, but in js I prefer to be sure that the equality signs are tripled (except for null comparisons)

I have been using MS Cascadia Code font for this… Would be awesome if you bring expanding animation of caret, interval line number and Chat GPT chat box with voice input 🎉

Thank you. You saved my head from exploding :D

Thanks for this video. Bdw what's the theme she is using? It's very soothing and minimalistic!

I think this reduces code readability and might increase typo errors.

These font ligatures can be resource-consuming if too many files are opened!

But without ligatures.. the readability is much better

Great video!
&& should be "and" in some special colour maybe, and || should be "or"
