This is where I just gave up and just started using Vim plugins wherever possible.
Edit: He calls out IDEs as a place you can't use Vim. But I think most widely used IDEs tend to have Vim plugins...
- ge0rg 9y agoIronically, Vim IDE plugins often have slightly different behavior on seemingly identical key buildings...
- Rotareti 9y agoSame here. I'm really happy about the plugins. They allow me to stay with vi-style of editing almost entirely. I use them for JetBrains IDEs, Atom, zsh, Firefox, Chromium and Emacs.
- Spivak 9y agoI just wish that Vim plug-ins meant that the IDE would actually embed Vim inside the IDE and do some vimscript magic to do integration. Vim plug-ins that just simulate the default Vim keybindings are just sad.
- yoz-y 9y agoBut some editors do vim integration really well. I was quite amazed when I discovered that the VS Code vim plugin is actually fully compatible with multiple cursors.
- kqr 9y agoI'm guessing these plugins have improved in the last couple of years? Every time I've tested them, I've been somewhat disappointed. Part of it is probably that I expect the Vim experience to include 1. The full command set, like :set paste and :set foldmethod=indent; and 2. Some basic plugins, like EasyMotion and surround.vim. Not even evil-mode gets this completely right, but it's close enough to be worth it.
