How embedded engineers improve work efficiency

There is no standard answer , Instead, we should throw a brick to attract jade and collect all kinds of experiences , We learn from each other and make progress together , Try to improve the usual work efficiency . It can be operational skills , Software tools , Reasonable process , Book Argument , Positive psychological suggestion, etc .

Let me start with one , Why am I used to working with a laptop instead of a desktop , Especially many people don't understand , There is no need for a large monitor , Isn't the code sweet ？

Tell the truth , It's not fragrant . In fact, in previous years, I worked on desktop computers + Large display , I'm also used to it , Strong computational performance , Big words don't bother your eyes , You can also display two windows side by side , Code on the left and document on the right . But later, I found that I was more and more unfit for desktop office as I often went out or on business . Let's start with the main reason , If you usually work on desktop , Then your complete computer environment , Including all kinds of software , The source code and documentation of the program are on the desktop , It's inconvenient to take a desktop when you go out , You must use a notebook , If notebooks are not often used , It is bound to install relevant software on the notebook in advance and copy relevant codes and documents . In fact, it's easy to install software , Basically, it's all packed , Just update it every once in a while . The code and documentation are not easy to deal with , One is the large amount of code and document data , It's not convenient to bake it all on the notebook , In addition, the notebook may also be modified , Then there will be multiple versions of code and documents , Synchronization is a troublesome problem .

The other is , Although the keyboard display of the notebook is smaller , But I get used to it in a few days , I'm afraid of going out and switching frequently in the company , I'm just used to typing with a small keyboard, and I'm not used to using a separate big keyboard , And it's really dazzling to replace a small monitor with a large one . In short, the premise of using it smoothly is to get used to , The premise of habit is not to change frequently . You cannot avoid going out or working at home occasionally , In these cases, you have to use a notebook , Then simply work with a notebook , In this way, wherever you go, you can get a consistent computer environment that makes you accustomed （ Software , file , Program , keyboard , Display etc. ）, Avoid letting people frequently adapt to these environmental changes , Thus, the work efficiency is improved .

in addition , Although the computing power of notebook is poor , But for most programming , file , And Internet demand is enough , So the decline of computing power is not sensitive to users . And the laptop has batteries , Mobile office for a short time , It can also avoid data loss caused by sudden power failure .

Finally, a tip , The laptop screen is small , Not suitable for left and right split screens , How to quickly switch between multiple windows ？ My approach is win10 Multi virtual desktop + Touch control board 4 Refers to switching left and right . First of all, it must be able to support multiple virtual desktops , Each desktop opens a set of related windows , I usually work on the desktop 0 open secureCRT Command line operation device , desktop 1 open IDE Edit the program , desktop 2 Open folder and WPS, desktop 3 Open browser and wechat . Although virtual desktops can also be used on desktops , You can use the mouse or win+tab Key to switch , But it's not convenient enough . I am on the notebook through the touch pad 4 It refers to that you can switch by dragging left and right , Very silky .

Touchpad configuration ：

• 4 Drag left and right , Switch virtual desktop ;
• 4 Point down , Display desktop ;
• 4 Pull it up , Show all desktop and document history ;
• 4 Refers to click , Display the system management page on the right ;
• 3 Drag up, down, left and right , Switch windows in the desktop ;
• 3 Refers to click , Show start page full screen mode . I often use software on the start page , The desktop is completely empty , What also have no .
• 2 Refers to the right button , Drag or zoom ;
• 1 Used to click or move the cursor ;
