callstacking-rails VS cursorless

We need to see the code paths that were executed for a certain request/feature/transaction.

I created Call Stacking for this visualization.

Very cool project. Similar to the Ruby on Rails debugger that I wrote, which allows you to see all of the methods that are called for a given request (and param values, return values, etc).

If someone is up for writing a Call Stacking client for the language platform of their choice, please email me.

This would be your reference implementation.

I'm sure we could work out an arrangement.

Cursorless is a tool to use in conjunction with Talon, to help speed up the way you navigate and interact with code in VSCode. The main superpower I have so far unlocked with Cursorless is instead of having to ask Talon to move the cursor down a few lines, or left a couple words, and then select some text and/or delete it, you can do all of that in one Cursorless command. Now, it is clearly far more powerful than that, but with Cursorless you need to start slowly, and you need to have learned the Talon alphabet before any of this is possible. More on that later.

Prior to my experience with carpal tunnel syndrome, I was of the opinion that a copy code button was superfluous. But I was wrong. And so, one of my first voice-based coding tasks was to add a copy code button on all code snippets featured on my blog posts. I am working on another blog post where I talk about my voice coding journey, but in case you’re interested, the tools I have been using are Talon and Cursorless inside VSCode. Relearning how to do everything on a computer with your voice involves a steep learning curve, but this whole endeavour is giving me some pain relief already. And yes, I am writing this blog post with my voice as much as my tools allow.

Give cursorless a try. Although they mostly show off the voice recognition, it has a keyboard interface too.

It lets you edit with high-level commands like "swap argument a with b", or "move function x before function y".

What are your opinions on https://www.cursorless.org/ ?

Are you targeting developers?

My understanding was people who are serious about developing via voice use it pretty exclusively.

Like, yeah you need to learn commands, but "are often not worth it" feels like brushing a pretty massive offering under the rug.

Is learning vi / emacs commands not worth it (or shortcuts in another IDE?)

Is there a middle ground?

actually I just saw that someone is working on a keyboard mode for Cursorless! https://github.com/cursorless-dev/cursorless/issues?q=is%3Ai...

See for example: - https://youtu.be/xtOkYdwUves?si=X01vGNVhNRjj7kXh - https://www.cursorless.org/ - https://talonvoice.com/

I would highly recommend checking out https://www.cursorless.org/, an editor for voice built on Talon (what’s being used here by Josh) and a VSCode extension. If for nothing else than to watch the dev live code with it.
