I like to keep things minimal, in fact, I turn off the toolbars and status bars by toggling distraction-free mode

Keybindings

I used to use Sublime Text (I still do for smaller tasks) I love their keybindings so first I ensure I have Sublime Text installed and then select the pre-installed Sublime Text macOS keybindings, I then duplicate this and give it a name DC so I know this is my custom keybindings.
