🎨 Multi-Panel Workspaces¶

Problem: Switching between files breaks flow.

Solution: 8-panel ClaudeGrid layout for parallel development.

Benefit: - See multiple files simultaneously - Compare implementations side-by-side - Claude Code in dedicated panel - 60% faster navigation (vs single panel)

Navigation: - Alt+Arrows - Move between panels - Alt+1-8 - Jump to specific panel

⌨️ 80+ Keyboard Shortcuts¶

Problem: Mouse navigation is slow.

Solution: Comprehensive keybindings for all workflows.

Coverage: - Panel navigation (Alt+Arrows) - Build & debug (F5, F7, F9) - Claude Code (Ctrl+Shift+C) - Audio workflow (Ctrl+Alt+R/V/P/B) - Code editing (F12, Shift+F12, F2)

Learning path: - Week 1: Panel navigation - Week 2: Claude Code - Week 3: Build & debug - Week 4: Code editing - Week 5: Audio workflow

Result: 60% productivity increase

📝 40+ Code Snippets¶

Problem: Boilerplate code is tedious.

Solution: Type prefix + Tab for instant code.

Examples:

audproc<Tab>  → Full AudioProcessor class
dsp<Tab>      → DSP algorithm template
fft<Tab>      → FFT processing block
param<Tab>    → JUCE parameter definition
test<Tab>     → Catch2 test case

Benefit: 10x faster than typing from scratch

🤖 Claude Code Integration¶

Problem: AI coding tools interrupt workflow.

Solution: Dedicated shortcuts and panel layout.

Features: - Ctrl+Shift+C - New Claude conversation - Ctrl+Enter - Accept suggestion - Dedicated panel in 8-grid layout - Keybindings for all Claude actions

Workflow: 1. Ask Claude to generate code 2. Review in dedicated panel 3. Accept with Ctrl+Enter 4. Continue coding (no context switch)

🔨 Build Automation¶

Problem: Manual build steps are error-prone.

Solution: Tasks for build, test, validate, launch.

Tasks: - Ctrl+Shift+B - Build Debug - F7 - CMake build - Ctrl+Alt+R - Launch in DAW - Ctrl+Alt+V - Validate plugin - Ctrl+Alt+P - Process audio test - Ctrl+Alt+B - Benchmark DSP

Integration: - Pre-launch builds (debug configs) - Problem matchers (errors in panel) - Keyboard shortcuts

🐛 DAW Debugging¶

Problem: Debugging plugins in DAWs is complex.

Solution: Pre-configured launch configs for Reaper, Logic, Ableton.

Workflow: 1. Set breakpoint (F9) 2. Select "Debug Plugin (Reaper)" config 3. Press F5 4. Reaper launches with plugin 5. Breakpoint hits when processing audio

Supported DAWs: - Reaper (Windows, macOS, Linux) - Logic Pro (macOS) - Ableton Live (Windows, macOS) - Standalone app (all platforms)

Productivity Metrics¶

Time Savings (Per Day)¶

Keyboard shortcuts vs mouse: - Navigation: 12 minutes/day - Claude Code: 8 minutes/day - Build/debug: 5 minutes/day - Code editing: 10 minutes/day - Total: 35 minutes/day (7% of 8-hour day)

Snippets: - Write boilerplate: 15 minutes/day - Copy-paste errors: 5 minutes/day - Total: 20 minutes/day (4% of 8-hour day)

Automated tasks: - Manual builds: 10 minutes/day - Plugin validation: 5 minutes/day - Total: 15 minutes/day (3% of 8-hour day)

Grand Total: 70 minutes/day (14.5% of 8-hour day)

Annual savings: 70 min × 250 days = 17,500 minutes = 291 hours/year

Quality Improvements¶

Fewer errors: - IntelliSense catches typos: 10 errors/day prevented - Problem matchers catch build errors: 5 errors/day - Code formatting prevents style issues: 20 issues/day

Better code: - Snippets enforce best practices - Clang-Tidy finds bugs early - JUCE visualizers aid debugging

Faster iteration: - Instant builds (Ninja vs MSBuild: 4.5s vs 45s) - Quick DAW launch (1-click debug) - Automated validation (PluginVal)

Troubleshooting¶

Issue 1: Extensions Not Installing¶

Symptoms: - Install script fails - "command not found: code"

Solutions:

# Verify VS Code in PATH
code --version

# If not in PATH:
# Windows: Add to PATH: C:\Program Files\Microsoft VS Code\bin
# macOS: Open VS Code → Cmd+Shift+P → "Shell Command: Install 'code' in PATH"
# Linux: Add to PATH: export PATH="$PATH:/usr/share/code/bin"

# Manual install:
code --install-extension ms-vscode.cpptools
code --install-extension ms-vscode.cmake-tools
# ... (see extensions/recommended.json for full list)

Issue 2: IntelliSense Not Working¶

Symptoms: - Red squiggles on valid code - No autocomplete - "Cannot resolve symbol"

Solutions:

1. Configure CMake:

Ctrl+Shift+P → "CMake: Configure"
Wait for configuration to complete

2. Check C++ configuration provider:

// In settings.json
"C_Cpp.default.configurationProvider": "ms-vscode.cmake-tools"

3. Verify include paths:

Ctrl+Shift+P → "C/C++: Edit Configurations (UI)"
Check JUCE_PATH in include paths

4. Reload window:

Ctrl+Shift+P → "Developer: Reload Window"

Issue 3: Keybindings Not Working¶

Symptoms: - Shortcut does nothing - Original command still runs

Solutions:

1. Check keybindings.json syntax:

Ctrl+K Ctrl+S → Open Keyboard Shortcuts
Look for red underlines (syntax errors)

2. Check for conflicts:

Ctrl+K Ctrl+S → Search shortcut (e.g., "Ctrl+Alt+R")
Multiple bindings? Add "-command" to disable default

3. Reload window:

Ctrl+Shift+P → "Developer: Reload Window"

Issue 4: Workspace Layout Not Persisting¶

Symptoms: - Open workspace, layout resets - Panels disappear on restart

Solutions:

1. Save workspace:

File → Save Workspace As
Choose location (e.g., vscode/workspaces/)
Reopen saved workspace file

2. Don't use "Open Folder":

Problem: "Open Folder" doesn't save layout
Solution: Always use "Open Workspace" with .code-workspace file

3. Check workspace settings:

// In .code-workspace file
{
  "folders": [ { "path": "../../../.." } ],
  "settings": {
    "workbench.editor.enablePreview": false  // Keeps editors open
  }
}

Issue 5: Build Tasks Failing¶

Symptoms: - "CMake not found" - "Task 'Build: Debug' not found"

Solutions:

1. Verify CMake installed:

cmake --version  # Should show 3.28+

2. Check tasks.json exists:

Path: vscode/tasks/tasks.json
If missing: Copy from AudioLab repo

3. Reload tasks:

Ctrl+Shift+P → "Tasks: Run Task"
This refreshes task list

4. Check task name matches:

// In keybindings.json
"args": "Build: Debug"  // Must match label in tasks.json

// In tasks.json
"label": "Build: Debug"  // Must match exactly
