If you want to use it like a GUI app maybe you should use a GUI version of vim, which doesn't have that limitation. But if that was really was broke the camels back here's the result of a 10 second search on google with solutions for urxvt, kitty, alacritty and iterm2, as well as a note that GVim doesn't have that limitation. I'm sure that's not the real reason why you couldn't get used to neovim. People have different preferences after all. Otherwise we'd all still be using notepad. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/16359878/how-to-map-shift-enter https://stackoverflow.com/questions/16359878/how-to-map-shif...

I used Astronvim with alacritty, I still found the setup incredibly convoluted, but you are right that wasn't what broke the camels back, that was the last straw. In the end, I'm happy where I landed. I like the idea of vim, I don't think the editor is where I would like it to be. I think neovim will get there since it allows normal GUI editors to be built on top of it, which is amazing, but the documentation right now is a "disaster": you need to know VIMscript + LUA to be able to configure it, for someone coming straight to neovim, that was really annoying. But if you go to normal vim, then there is no language server, which is a problem on its own. Either way, as I said, I'm happy where I landed. I'm not saying "no", I'm saying I'd rather use my time toward something else. I even use VSCode in a weird way, like I don't use the integrated terminal at all and I like "full screen view" when I'm typing code. My only gripe with vscode is the terrible fuzzy finder for files. I do miss FZF, but I can do `code CTRL+T` in my terminal for a similar result
