Gerrit, the code review tool.

IntelliJ Idea + Ideavim plug-in and my heavily customised keybindings and F1-F12 keys. The same UI and keybindings for all my programming languages. I live in this program for 80% of my computer time.

Tmux+Zsh+fzf+bat+exa for terminals and splits. Same or similar keybindings to my InteliJ setup.
