		ipiz0618 on May 7, 2022 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: I’ve spent my Easter break customizing Neovim Vim is great, and it's great to see the author spend time customising a tool that he spends most of his time using. But is vs code that bad at keyboard-only navigations? I spent much less time customising the settings and can do 99% of my tasks without reaching for a mouse. The remaining 1% are for some extensions like the Postgres explorer, which I could easily mitigate by switching to a terminal and run psql, but I don't feel like reaching for my mouse occasionally is a big waste of time

Yes, vscode is not even close to as good at keeping the user's hands on the home row.

The vscode neovim plugin gets you closer, but it can't seem to keep up with fast typing speeds in some modes.

I like vscode for other features, but neovim is still superior for raw editing productivity in my book.
