Ask HN: Alternative to VS Code with vi Bindings
I've recently found VS Code very slow - hangs for about 10 seconds - when using the vi bindings on OS X. I'm not sure if this is VS Code itself, vi plugin or some OS X hiccup.
I'm tempted to use vim again. But there are various niceties in VS Code which are hard to achieve in vim without a day or two of vim plugin sumo and another day learning the keyboard shortcuts.
What are people using apart from VS Code? I may try sublime text again.
- karmakaze 6y agoI use a trio of VS Code, IntelliJ, and console/vi. I've used vi/vim mode on both VS Code and IntelliJ and they worked fine but I'm already comfortable with IntelliJ shortcuts. One thing I found that was really cool with VS Code vi mode is that it's local. You can remote-pair with someone using different keybindings/mode.
