This is a timely post as I've been trying to use Vim more since last year, and recently started a new project with the aim of working exclusively in Vim. And I'm torn. On the one hand I want to significantly increase how fast I can manipulate and edit text without reaching for my mouse, a state which many commentors here seem to have attained. On the other, I miss the way that a Jetbrains IDE cohesively integrates a lot of features with non-conflicting hotkeys, without requiring me to fiddle around with a vimrc - great code analysis, Git, database schemas, etc. I'm tempted by the promise of a plugin like IdeaVIM, which seems like it's 90% of the experience - but that'd still sacrifice the easy integration with my terminal setup, fzf, being able to switch between panes with my keyboard, etc. Does getting 90% of the way to being keyboard-free really give you 90% of the benefits? Any tips appreciated :)
