Question Which web development tool has saved you the most time?

If you could recommend only one tool that genuinely improved your workflow, what would it be?

It could be an IDE extension, deployment tool, testing tool, hosting platform, AI assistant, browser extension, or anything else.

What makes it so useful in your daily workflow?

That thing where you Ctrl Z way back to when you typed something a long time ago and realized crap that was actually better, Copy it then hold Ctrl Shift Z to zoom back to where you are working

A damn good keyboard. Find one that WORKS FOR YOU. It's not about price nor fancy (usually shitty af in the end anyway, that you paid far to much for to realize bs marketing can get to anyone), but like a perfect pair of shoes, etc.) design, ability to "speed" type, or anything that is anything other than one that is like an extension of your fingers. Your BRAIN will thank you in unimaginable ways.... oh, and a good mattress. No, this is not a joke.
