Day 8 Editor Setup

Just like Santa's workshop needs the right tools for the job, your editor setup can make all the difference! Today we're unwrapping some gifts for your dev experience.

First up: Svelte Inspector! With just three lines of config, you get a magical shortcut that lets you click any component in your browser and teleport directly to its source code. It's like having a GPS for your codebase!

Next, tame the .file madness in your project root. VS Code's file nesting feature lets you collapse related files together — check out Anthony Fu's epic nesting rules collection and adjust to your workshop's needs.

Finally, the pièce de résistance: custom label patterns! No more squinting at a dozen +page.svelte tabs. Transform them into meaningful names like "page (lucia)" or "layout (root)" — your keyboard navigation will thank you!
