As a former vim user myself, if you do use IntelliJ or PyCharm I can recommend using the IdeaVIM plugin: http://plugins.intellij.net/plugin/?id=164 http://plug

  O rly? Have you actually used it? I tried for months while using RubyMine. The IdeaVIM plugin was one of the reasons I was ultimately driven back to regular vim...the inconsistencies and bugs were pretty bad...to the extent that some things like undo would lose your changes completely (i.e., no redo). I really wanted to like RubyMine/IntelliJ/IdeaVIM, but the bugs were a deal killer. Coupled with the fact that many were known issues and there was no commitment to fix them and my choice to go back to vim was easy. I should note that the vim support in netbeans and eclipse was just about flawless. It's a shame IntelliJ couldn't steal/adapt one of those projects to work within its IDE set.

    Yes, rly. Of course I have actually used it -- I use it daily. I wouldn't recommend it otherwise. I find the small bugs in IdeaVIM well worth the added bonus of using IntelliJ over using vim alone or using netbeans or eclipse. I fiddled with eclim and jbvi and other vim-ish things, but IntelliJ really is the best Java IDE IMHO.

      So do U and CTRL+R now properly undo and redo? When I used it, if you used U to undo, there was simply no way to ever redo anything...

        What platform are you on? My windows install seems to be prone to odd keyboard collisions, but mac is fine.
