## SESSION 1: CODE-SERVER DEPLOYMENT PREPARATION
|
|
|
|
**Duration:** 60-90 minutes
|
|
**Priority:** HIGH (deploying tonight)
|
|
**Goal:** Optimize Code-Server for accessibility and mobile workflow
|
|

|
### Opening Prompt
|
|
```
|
|
Hi Gemini! I'm Michael "Frostystyle" Krause, deploying Code-Server tonight for browser-based VS Code editing.
|
|
|
|
CONTEXT:
|
|
- I'm a 57-year-old infrastructure engineer with permanent hand nerve damage
|
|
- Building Firefrost Gaming (subscription Minecraft server network)
|
|
- Need browser-based editing to reduce SSH terminal work
|
|
- Will access from Chromebook + Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra
|
|
|
|
MY CONSTRAINTS:
|
|
- Hand nerve damage requires minimal repetitive typing
|
|
- Use vertical mouse with 2 programmable thumb buttons (currently unused)
|
|
- Need mobile-friendly interface
|
|
- Managing Linux server documentation in Git repositories
|
|
|
|
TONIGHT'S DEPLOYMENT:
|
|
- Service: Code-Server (browser-based VS Code)
|
|
- Location: code.firefrostgaming.com
|
|
- Purpose: Edit markdown docs, manage Git, reduce terminal work
|
|
- Current repo: firefrost-operations-manual (28+ markdown files)
|
|
|
|
HELP ME DESIGN:
|
|
|
|
1. ESSENTIAL VS CODE EXTENSIONS
|
|
- Best markdown editing extensions
|
|
- Git workflow enhancements (visual commits, history)
|
|
- File management improvements
|
|
- Accessibility-focused extensions
|
|
- Mobile-optimized extensions
|
|
|
|
2. WORKSPACE SETTINGS
|
|
- settings.json configuration for one-handed use
|
|
- Auto-save strategies (minimize manual saves)
|
|
- File explorer optimizations
|
|
- Terminal alternatives (minimize command-line)
|
|
|
|
3. MOBILE OPTIMIZATION
|
|
- Touch-friendly settings for S24 Ultra
|
|
- Chromebook-specific configuration
|
|
- Font sizes and UI scaling
|
|
- Gesture support
|
|
- PWA (Progressive Web App) setup
|
|
|
|
4. GIT WORKFLOW IN GUI
|
|
- Source Control tab best practices
|
|
- Visual commit workflow (no CLI)
|
|
- Branch management via UI
|
|
- Push/pull strategies
|
|
- Conflict resolution tools
|
|
|
|
5. KEYBOARD SHORTCUTS (ONE-HANDED)
|
|
- Essential shortcuts for left-hand only
|
|
- Sticky keys integration
|
|
- Custom keybindings for Git operations
|
|
- Snippet triggers
|
|
|
|
6. SNIPPET LIBRARY
|
|
- Common Git commit messages
|
|
- Markdown templates
|
|
- Documentation headers
|
|
- Frequently used file structures
|
|
|
|
7. THUMB BUTTON OPTIMIZATION
|
|
- What should I map to my 2 mouse thumb buttons?
|
|
- Context-specific mappings (editor vs terminal vs file explorer)
|
|
- Software recommendations for button programming
|
|
|
|
GOAL: Tonight's deployment should result in a mobile-friendly, accessibility-optimized workspace that minimizes typing and enables efficient documentation management from any device.
