How to be productive developing with .NET on a Mac
summary
Concrete productivity steps and demos: use command+/ to toggle comments, use ctrl+alt+click for multi‑caret editing, and Alt+Shift+Up to expand selection then Alt+Enter to extract a local function (extract is currently in the 8.5 preview). Customize any keybinding in Preferences, use Command+Period global search for commands/files/types, and edit EditorConfig severities so squiggles become warnings. Run dotnet‑format as a global tool and wire it into Visual Studio for Mac menus, enforce file headers, add custom snippets, and enable column rulers or show‑in‑selection invisible characters.
