I am working on some improved statics with many more opentype features (along with documentation of it), and will try to put out a new release by the end of today. So, keep an eye out!\r\n\r\nThat said, I believe you can get code ligatures with beta 020, but they are behind a slightly different OpenType feature flag than simpler code ligatures fonts (discretionary ligatures, so they’re not active by default). Here’s how to activate features in three common editors:\r\n\r\n**VS Code**\r\n\r\nIn VS Code, you can activate OpenType features by searching for `fontLigatures`, then editing this in settings.json like this:\r\n\r\n```\r\n    \"editor.fontLigatures\": \"'ss01', 'ss05', 'dlig'\"\r\n```\r\n\r\n(In beta025, the above would give you a simplied `6` & `9`, a single-story `a`, and activate code ligatures.)\r\n\r\n**Atom**\r\n\r\nGo to `Atom` -> `Stylesheet` and add in the following:\r\n\r\n```\r\natom-text-editor {\r\n  font-family: 'RecursiveMonoB_023-CslRg';\r\n  font-feature-settings: \"ss01\", \"ss05\", \"dlig\";\r\n}\r\n```\r\n\r\n# Sublime Text\r\n\r\nGo to `Sublime Text` -> `Preferences` -> `Settings` and add:\r\n\r\n```json\r\n\"font_options\": [\"ss01\", \"ss05\", \"dlig\"]\r\n```\r\n"}}
