The Vim emulation plugin that ships with Intellij IDEA is absolutely awful. I used it for about 30 minutes, then uninstalled it in frustration. Certain commands just didn't work right, and some didn't work at all. There was also no indication whatsoever of what mode you were in, so you just had to keep track of it in your head. The experience was not pleasant at all. I'd rather have no Vim emulation than poor emulation (same reason I ditched spacemacs after an hour or so).
- ufmace 11y agoI'm wondering what you thought the worse omissions on it were. I've used IdeaVim on Android Studio, and find it passable, if not great. My main beefs that I can think of right now are that my vimrc commands for leader+j and k mapping to 10j and k don't work, and it sometimes messes up the spacing on blank lines, causing the { and } jumps to not work right. I'm pretty sure the cursor changing on mode switch worked right for me. Maybe check for updates? They do seem to update it semi-regularly - I think they fixed the number-gt command within the last 6 months or so.
- groovy2shoes 11y agoI honestly can't remember the details now, because it was quite some time ago. I just remember getting fed up rather quickly and returning to the default keybindings. Perhaps the situation has improved since then.
