I use VS Code nowadays ( who knew?) and probably the first extension I have installed was VSCodeVim. Probably all source code editors and IDEs support Vim mode in some form. Even Gmail has matching hotkeys! Vim mode in VS Code You will need to pick up the mouse a lot less often.Īs you'll see below, a lot of new solutions borrow from Vim's keybindings. The main thing to appreciate though is that the modal nature of Vim mode allows you to keep your hands on the home row of the keyboard so that you can touch-type without interruption. There are countless more tricks, shortcuts and all sorts of magic you can do with Vim.

It's a brilliant, comfortable and efficient way of using the keyboard. What I'm suggesting though, is to learn the basic movement and command keys of Vim mode. There are better alternatives nowadays IMO, although it's still the most powerful text editor probably and it's not that hard to pick up. Vim is the infamous editor you can't get out of, right? Well, I'm not saying you should use Vim as your primary editor. Just let the ones you often use become second nature, then pick up new ones as you go. Don't try to memorise every key combination at once. You might be overwhelmed at first, but remember: learning takes time. We are all human and vim is that cool.You can even print the hotkey list for future reference if you like. And please those of you who deign to grace us with your vim wisdom - be kind.
