Editor/ Blueprint¶

Folder layout (future-proof)¶

cheatsheets/
└─ tools/
   └─ editors/
      ├─ idea/
      │  ├─ code-snippets.md          # Live Templates, postfix tricks, surround templates
      │  ├─ shortcuts.md              # Keymap & combos
      │  ├─ debugging.md              # Breakpoints, watches, eval expr
      │  ├─ configuration.md          # Code style, inspections, file templates
      │  ├─ run-configurations.md     # App/Test/Spring Boot configs
      │  ├─ settings-sync.md          # Sync/export settings strategy
      │  └─ refactoring.md            # Structural search/replace, safe delete, intentions
      ├─ vscode/
      │  ├─ code-snippets.md          # JSON snippets, multi-cursor patterns
      │  ├─ shortcuts.md              # Keybindings & chords
      │  ├─ debugging.md              # launch.json, DAP tips
      │  ├─ configuration.md          # settings.json, workspace vs user
      │  ├─ extensions.md             # Curated list w/ why + config
      │  └─ settings-sync.md
      └─ vim/
         ├─ code-snippets.md          # UltiSnips/Luasnip (optional)
         ├─ shortcuts.md
         └─ configuration.md

File naming rules (simple + consistent)¶

Keep one concept per file: code-snippets.md, shortcuts.md, debugging.md, configuration.md.
Use editor folder to carry specificity. Inside idea/, code-snippets.md = “IntelliJ Live Templates/snippets”. Inside vscode/, same name = VS Code snippets.
If a concept grows big, split with suffixes: configuration-formatting.md, configuration-inspections.md.

Front matter template (uniform metadata)¶

Use the same front matter across all editor docs for fast filtering/search:

---
title: IDEA — Code Snippets
tags: [editors, idea, code, snippets]
summary: Live Templates, postfix, and surround examples for IntelliJ IDEA.
aliases:
---

Change only the title, tags, and summary per file:

tags suggestions:
IDEA: [editors, idea, snippets], [editors, idea, debugging], [editors, idea, config]
VS Code: [editors, vscode, snippets], [editors, vscode, extensions]

Optional: a tiny README index per editor¶

Add a minimal README.md inside each editor folder:

---
title: IDEA — Index
tags: [editors, idea]
summary: Entry points for all IntelliJ notes.
---

- [Code Snippets](./code-snippets.md)
- [Shortcuts](./shortcuts.md)
- [Debugging](./debugging.md)
- [Configuration](./configuration.md)
- [Run Configurations](./run-configurations.md)
- [Settings Sync](./settings-sync.md)
- [Refactoring](./refactoring.md)

This gives you a stable, parallel structure for IDEA, VS Code, and any future editor without bikeshedding filenames.
