Seems I remember asking Melanie that very question some 6-7 years ago.
Her answer was a little different, but this is what I do now.
  1. Never use TAB's. And set the editor to insert 4 spaces when you hit the tab key.
    <br>
  2. Set the right gutter to 76 and don't go past it.
    Gets rid of bottom scrollbar in code box.
    <br>
  3. Turn off the "Reserved Word Formatting" and capitalize things like FOR, SELECT, LCDOUT etc. as you type them in.
    <br>
  4. copy&paste variable names and labels, don't type them in each time.
    It helps to have a fast "Flywheel" on your mouse when copying.
    <br>
  5. And for those special occasions, highlight the code with this.
