@Alice Livereload helps a lot. You still have to alt-tab to go look at the change, see if it crashed, look at the console, etc. I find this setup good for quickly viewing the console and screen. I don't alt-tab for anything now, other than clicking something or skipping a bad song.

For those suggesting a second monitor.
1) Not every individual or workplace can afford one. Some people are beginners and they don't get to make hardware requests.
2) You can't carry around a second screen to meetings or code on the move. -

I have a solution for 2) because I got one of those USB Monitor things so I can work where ever with two monitors as long as my battery lasts. -
Today I upvoted, now I'm thanking you after trying it. I hated doing tutorials without my laptop connected to the second screen.
For those using VSCode, there is an extension called GlassIt-VSC -
@Phippsaurus Illustrative. Im just starting out with rust. Didn't know it compiles to webassembly..

Tip for devs (esp front end):
Sublime text (and few other inferior editors) has a plugin called "transparency" that allows your editor to be transparent.
Windows 10 powershell consoles can be made transparent.
1) Open browser
2) Open command prompt over it with 75% transparency
3) Open editor over both with 50% transparency.
4) Set editor to fullscreen, no-distraction mode to center the text (Shift+F11 in sublime)
Enjoy coding while constantly viewing the code, the browser and monitoring the cmd prompt at the same time, without having to click Alt+Tab a zillion times.
