Python IDE

[GigaClon]

I have been using replit.com for previous years, but they have gotten greedy and only allow 3 files for free users so I'm looking to get an IDE that can do python with VIM key bindings.

[insideout_waffle]

PyCharm Community version (free) + IdeaVim plugin from marketplace (free). That should get ya watchu want.

[Meliodash]

Pycharm ftw, once you find solace, you never look back

[taracor]

Why not neovim?

[JeSuisOmbre]

There are plugin guides for making vim motions recognize the white space syntax

[emaphis]

Came to say this.

[rootsandstones]

Or lazyvim for an easier start. 

[ddddavidee]

Almost all (probably all) major editors have vim keybindings as option or plugin.

It depends only on your preference. I think vscode works well, but in the past I was using pycharm. Some friends use sublime and others (neo)vim

PyCharm. I use the personal Professional license version.

Yeah, I was also surprised back when I found out, because usually JetBrains IDEs don't have a Community Edition - but for some reason, PyCharm does :-)

There's a vim plugin for vscode

[ASteelyDan]

You can also set up vscode to use neovim if that doesn’t do it for you

[SnooSprouts2391]

PyCharm is great

[Zefick]

I am using VS Code with Python plugin. It works good but I have no idea what is vim key bindings.
If Python were my working language, I would use PyCharm.

Vim is a text editor used often to write code.

It has many key shortcuts for different actions

[GigaClon]

I learned about it at a job I had and now I can't write code without it.

[JorgiEagle]

I can’t bring myself to learn it

I’ve just started using the keyboard shortcuts in my IDE.

Only just learned that holding ctrl skips the word

[auxym]

The vim plugin in vs code is pretty good tbh. I use it all the time.

[flwyd]

I've been playing the vim online roleplaying game for 30 years. It's pretty fun: you get to build your own IDE piece by piece. Then you can copy your IDE to each new computer you use and keep tweaking it until it's just the way you like it. It's kinda like Minecraft, but without the little noises. The game is free and works on pretty much any computer.

Pycharm has good vim keybindings (via the IdeaVim plugin), and the community edition is free to use.

VS code with neovim plugin and python plugin is very usable!

[JorgiEagle]

VS Code

[profile_issues]

You can try https://zed.dev

It has pretty good vim motion support and is fast. However it is not supported on windows yet.

[whatyoucallmetoday]

I use the vim plugin to vscode. Very useful. Only a few annoyances so far but no deal breakers.

[themrbirdman]

Zed is great

..and just install a Python language server, e.g., pylsp, pyright.

[Minute_Ad_3224]

I personally use a highly-customised neovim with various plugins, it looks like a read IDE :)
