How?

Which editors on which OS's provide a toggle for that?



Jetbrains IDEs: Settings > Editor > Font > Enable ligatures

Sublime Text: Set "font_options" to "dlig". There are other settings to choose which character tables are allowed to use ligatures or not.

Visual Studio Code: Set "editor.fontLigatures" to "true". You can also put CSS font features to choose which ligatures you want to enable.


Thank you so much, I had no idea! Very helpful.


Dunno about toggle in an editor but fancy terminals have config flags for stuff like that (Kitty, Wezterm, Ghostty, etc...).

And then you run Vim or Emacs in said terminal...
