Hello Nicola,

Pretty open ended question, but perhaps the shortcut reference would be of use to you? Maybe you can elaborate on what you're looking for.

Also, I'm sure somebody would mention VS Code if I didn't. That may be a more cozy programming experience for you depending on your background.

I'm interested to know why VS Code is not an option. You actually wrote "VS", so maybe you are confusing the free Microsoft tool with the other tool with a similar name.

@Nicola Sartore - what does your organization use for a source control strategy? if you use server-side source control hooks and you are on at least Cache 2017.1 (or any version of IRIS) then you can mix and match Studio and VS Code as VSCode fully supports server side source control (as well as client side, but if you are a Studio shop then you don't have any client side source control in place)

Hey Nicola.

Changing the theme can certainly make Studio a little easier on the eyes (although it does feel like a bit of a hack): https://github.com/doublefint/CacheColorTheme

Thanks for the reference, I actually forgot about some of the shortcuts. I guess all the downside of the Studio editor can be solved with VS, but for me is not an option.

Well, where I work we are all using Studio. I'll look into it tho. Do you know if it can be easily integrated with the menagement portal and if it lacks some important feature?

It can't be integrated with Management Portal (which is a webapp), but the Server Manager extension gives you ways to launch Management Portal from within VS Code, either as an embedded web page or in your usual browser.

That's actually helpful, but no shining eyes this time

Also, Nicola, it's not a Studio Tips and Tricks, but... have you tried VSCode ObjectScript?
