Hey fellow C# devs,
I got tired of remembering complex Visual Studio keyboard shortcuts and constantly managing my workspace, so I decided to see if I could build a more physical, streamlined workflow. I ended up creating a full productivity system using an Elgato Stream Deck, and the results have been incredible for my focus and coding speed.
I wanted to share it because the principles can apply to any C# project, whether you're working on web, desktop, or games.
Some of the key automations I set up for my C# workflow include:

Hey fellow C# devs,

I wanted to share it because the principles can apply to any C# project, whether you're working on web, desktop, or games.
Some of the key automations I set up for my C# workflow include:
- One-Button VS Commands: No more
Ctrl+K, Ctrl+D! I have a single physical button to format the entire document. I also have buttons for easily moving document tabs left and right without using the mouse. - A Game-Changing VS Extension: In the video, I feature a free extension called Supercharger that lets you color-code entire method bodies. This has been a lifesaver for quickly navigating and understanding large, complex classes.
- Integrated Focus Tools: I also built in a Pomodoro timer to help me stick to a "deep work" schedule and block out distractions during coding sessions.
I put together a detailed video that walks through the entire setup, showing how to connect the Stream Deck to Visual Studio and demonstrating the Supercharger extension.
