The 5 settings to change in WebStorm right after installation

1. Map debugging keys to the shortcuts from Chrome, which can't be changed:

   • Step Over: F10
   • Step Into: F11
   • Resume: F8

2. Editor -> Inlay Hints -> Position: Right, so you don't create a new line for the committer or number of usages of functions/methods

3. Disable reformatting on paste:
   Editor -> General -> Smart Keys -> Reformat on paste: None

4. Editor -> General -> Tabs -> Mark modified (*)

5. Editor -> Code Style -> TypeScript: use single quotes

6. If you work with Markdown:

   • Editor -> General -> Soft wraps -> Soft-wrap these files: add .mdx
   • (New in WebStorm 2023.1.2) Disable Markdown table reformatting on typing (if you don't want to create large diffs when updating just a few characters in a table that's formatted differently from how WebStorm would like): Uncheck Editor -> General -> Smart Keys -> Markdown -> Reformat table when pasting

It’s funny that the setting in the suggestion #5 gets reset after each app update 🤦‍♂️ too annoying
