I really wish someone had cracked native vim support in a modern gui editor - I'm interested in using something like Atom but until I can do basic text editing with 100% native vim (for productivity and health reasons), I really can't make the switch.
Has there been any progress on this? Does neovim make this easier?
- Jean-Philipe 10y agoI agree. I'm using Atom now since a few weeks, and really like it, but its vim-mode is really not great, and the development of vim-mode stalled. I have high hopes on neovim, but I think it will only play out in a few years from now. Until then, there's a lot of work to do.
- mcjiggerlog 10y agoI tried vim-mode too, but just trying to replicate vim is never going to work, it needs to be native. It took me about 10 seconds of editing to get blocked by an unsupported feature.
