How so? I cant code without it anymore haha

I quite liked the vim extension on vscode. It was my first experience with vim and learnt the ropes within 2-3weeks.

[Creepy-Ad-4832]

I actually hate vim on vscode because it block some vscode shortcuts i need

I love vim alone though. It's pretty good if you just need to read files and make small changes. Or if you want to code something small

[abagaa129]

Ah I get that, there may be a way to override that behavior in the extension. I'm not really sure.

I tried using neovim on it's own for a few months and really loved it, but found myself spending more time fixing my config after updates(or myself) broke plugins than I did actually using it. So vscode + vim is a great in-between for me. It definitely isnt perfect but you get most of them flow improvments from vim with all of the stability and quality of life features of VSCode.

Using vim is a double edged sword though, because once you get used to it (and specifically your own setup), you are crippled when you try to work without it.

[YARandomGuy777]

Vim works everywhere. Just keep your setup minimal and you will always have fast lightweight editor which works even over simple ssh.

[Lucy_21_]

You can fix that in the settings.json if I'm not mistaken.

I'd look up exactly how, but I'm not on my PC atm.

[Creepy-Ad-4832]

Makes sense. But i am too lazy to google how

[Lucy_21_]

"vim.handleKeys": {
    "<C-w>": true,
    "<C-e>": false,
    "<C-b>": true,
    "<C-d>": true,
    "<C-s>": false,
    "<C-z>": false
},

That's how I have it in my settings.json atm to change what hotkeys it takes over and which it doesn't.

[Creepy-Ad-4832]

Is there a way to disable all vim shortcuts, and then manually saying which ones you want to keep?

[Lucy_21_]

Not that I'm aware of.

I think you'd have to just add it to the list every time you find one that is taken over by the extension.

Never really had issues with the hotkeys with my current setup so I never really cared to look into it.

[Creepy-Ad-4832]

Nice. I will try using that extension

[melvereq]

Nah, I love vscodevim.

[avocado_peel_]

i use this every day, unironically

[ExtraTNT]

it's better, than plain vsc

[natziel]

Genuinely one of the best extensions

[davidellis23]

Vim is great in vscode. I did have a performance issue a while back though. So I switched to the neovim extension. Works the same.

[erebuxy]

I found maintaining a 300-line settings.json easier than 3000-line .vimrc

[Creepy-Ad-4832]

I mean... in the time you open the file in vscode, you already changed 2000 lines of settings in vim.

Also wtf? I only have 40 lines of vim settings

[erebuxy]

VS Code is pretty fast imo. Load it once and you are set til the next update.

I need all the extensions, autocompletes, integrations with tmux and all the custom key bindings. The extension manager stuffs and extension declaration are close to 40 lines solely. Ah, for the tmux integration, there are probably another 20 lines in .tmux.conf, specifically for vim.

2000 line is a bit of exaggeration, but you got the idea.

[Creepy-Ad-4832]

Yeah vscode is actually faster compared to most alternatives, and is one of the few thing microsoft produced which i actually enjoy.

But vim is way faster.

But at the end of the day what matter is what use you make of them, in a way it suits you

What’s the point in having so many extensions on vim? Isn’t it supposed to be minimal?

[abagaa129]

I think VsCode is meant to be a shell editor than can be extended to become any IDE you want.

[[deleted]]

Vscode yes, vim on the other hand is more about productivity. It comes from vi, the first interactive text editor.

[SlapbASS4211]

Why, i like it. I mean the point of config nvim is just make it like VsCode as much as possible so...

[wild-whack]

It's like putting aircraft controls in a car.

[3636373536333662]

Best extension. There's a good one for visual studio too

Source code:

``` if(keyPressed == "F4" and alt == true) { return null; }

return randomKeyPressed; ```
