       Vim mode in editors is like non-alcoholic beer - not a real thing. I switched from VS Code to neovim using Lunar Vim (as I understand, it’s a preset of configurations and plugins that you can keep tweaking further but it’s a good starting point).#vim #vscode

       @mikolasan Emacs's evil mode is the only exception.

       It is hard, long week of trial and error. I basically had my project open in vim and vscode simultaneously and was switching to one of the editors, one where a was more comfortable with the next task.

       It actually started with some problem in tmux. And I replaced tmux with Zellij. Haha

       It's hard, but in the last two days I've felt myself starting to have some fun. I even got so carried away that I found myself sitting at work for a few dozen minutes longer than normal.

       One thing about learning existing keyboard shortcuts and assigning new keybindings is that there is so much to learn and plugin documentation is usually scarce.It was one thing in tmux, where the starting combination Ctrl+b everyone without a doubt has to change to Ctrl+a (it makes sense to use one hand for that, and Ctrl+b is very awkward for my left hand). But it was another story when I tried to find a way to close one tab in Lunar Vim:

       - First I used :q for that. But quickly realized that it closes everything except the situation when I have a file explorer side panel open.- Then I found in GitHub Discussions that I should assign new keys for :bd - <Space><Tab>d (yes, three keys in a sequence, space, then tab, then d. Not all three together). Somewhat weird, easy to miss the third key, and it behaves strangely when the file explorer is open. But anyway- Then after several days when I got used to smashing these three buttons…

       So today, I found somewhere (probably just pressing the space key and reading the menu of whichkey - it’s a plugin that allows to display the shortcuts as a nice menu) that I can close it with space+c. That’s elegant. And it doesn’t mess up the file explorer as previous methods. But now I need to train my muscle memory to point to the c key.
