I remember the first times I opened vim and tried to edit stuff, I felt like I wanted to cry because I was so slow. Now completely the opposite, I use an editor that doesn't have vim motions and I want to cry 😢
💯 I am thinking to do what you did and move all note taking into NeoVim. I am ising Bear for a very long time and the main problem is just to find time and make a script that will convert all my notes (which is a lot) into .md plus assets for every note. I like Bear app, but I steuggle witout vim motions more and more 😃
@@roman_v_code yes, I started with Google drive and it was a pain. I still have all the notes there, I started fresh in Neovim and just migrate stuff that I need when I need it. Otherwise I have a lot of trash in those notes and it can remain there as an archive
I am lucky to have this habbit of not liking using arrow, even tho i used vscode, i always felt using mouse and arrow key sluggish, so after 2 years of pgoramming, i decide to make my own setup that enable my hand to stay on the keyboard while coding, then i discovered vim motion (i am yet to use neovim because that is another things to learn, for me vscode felt complete except the vim motion part), i install vim extension in vscode, and my life have change since, i cannot even remember how i used to code using mouse😂
But vim motions in other apps is a cool option. I am using this. Unfortunately some vim motions implementations are not good (like in Xcode), but still better to use
Used vim for years but never really got the productivity from that. Good to hear someone does! Vscode makes me productive in other ways so it’s all a wash in the end.😂
Maybe you can try to use vim motions in VSCode once again. At least for me it was the main wall to change my habits. And if that works for you - you can take a look at some popular NeoVim distributions like Lazy (I am using this one) But anyway, it is just a tool and we all should the once that makes us more productive 🙂
I did try using NeoVim. I was just fascinated by how all these youtubers switched between files and lines of code so quickly. I gave it a shot my fingers just couldn't keep up with the shortcuts 😅. It's DIFFICULT unlearning arrow keys!
Most people should use hjkl with neovim but the reasons you might not would be you have a lot of functionality scripted around arrows and you use arrows all the time in other things. I've used vim for a good while and stuck with arrow keys as it works the best for me.

And I can second what you said 😃

Oh yeah! I remember even before vim motions I tried to learn every possible shortcut so I can do stuff with keyboard

It takes time for sure. I still confuse Up and Down keys 😃 after almost a year of daily usage
