I spend a lot of my time communicating in Bitbucket (and in GitHub) and I’ve come to love writing in markdown. Unfortunately, I’ve noticed Bitbucket changed their editing experience to use a WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) editor instead of my beloved markdown area. This is the setting I changed to turn it back to a markdown field.

Vim Find Your Leader
When using Vim you can find your <Leader> by using echo for the value of “mapleader”, however there are some edge cases that make this less than ideal. If “mapleader” is undefined an error is thrown instead of showing the default <Leader>. If “mapleader” is not a visible character (e.g. <Space> or <Tab>), you can not see the value. I use the following command to display <Leader> while working around these edge cases.

I take a lot of screenshots (using `Command` + `Shift` + `4`) and typically want to upload the image without making any changes, making this delay frustrating. This is how I removed the delay.

You can tell composer to install dependencies as if you’re using a specific version of PHP. This can be helpful if you’re running composer outside of your virtual machine (and your virtual machine has the correct PHP version but your host machine does not).
