What Is a Text Editor? And Why Does It Matter to Developers?
If you have Windows, you have access to the default Notepad application installed on your computer.
At some point, you would have used Notepad to replace Microsoft Word. But those who work with code understand that while it looks similar to Microsoft Word in terms of providing a writing space, Notepad can do more.
Most modern systems come with pre-installed basic text editor software like Notepad, and you can use them for more than just taking notes and creating documents.

As the official description says, "Lightkey is a free AI-powered writing assistant for Windows, offering real-time text predictions, spelling & grammar corrections while typing in MS Office and any Chrome or Edge web application, supporting 85 languages."
From a practical standpoint, Lightkey is a productivity booster. From writing all day, every day to simple email exchanges, Lightkey will make anyone's typing far more efficient. I always enjoy seeing just how much time the program has saved me during the week. As an attorney, I get paid for my time. The investment in a Lightkey license has saved my clients real money, and has made my job much easier to perform.

Question on: Brackets
Is there a shortcut or simple way to auto format code within Brackets?
One thing that I can't find is how to format code within Brackets. When it comes to pulling up JavaScript and CSS, I still cant figure out how to format the code to make it easier to work with. Are there any shortcuts to do this? Or am I missing it within the options?

I recommend an installing the extension called Beautify by Drew Hamlet. Then with a quick keyboard shortcut (ctrl+shift+L) it will format your code very nicely. Also make sure you have the correct file name extensions, because Brackets should be doing some formatting by default. So make sure your using .html .css. and .js for the appropriate files.
