I've tried using the vim plugin for VSCode many times, and every time I come back to it, it just feels... off? The actual vim keybindings work fine when you're editing the document, but I find that when you want to use some of the other features of the editor, it becomes a bit more tricky/hacky.

If MS made an official set of vim keybindings that had better editor support, or even if there was some sort of kill switch that let me turn off vim key bindings quickly, I would be 100% sold on VSCode, but until then, I'll stick to the terminal.

Have you tried the neovim _integration_ VS Code extension? [0] It's not perfect (I'm still in a terminal 95% of the time, but my current VSCode set up is surprisingly not painful and I find myself using it more frequently) but it gets a lot further along than VsVim did for me (which is probably not a far comparison because I have not actually used VsVim in many years) or VSCodeVim when I tried it recently. YMMV, of course.

A word of advice, though, if you plan to check this out... I'd recommend maintaining a separate neovim install specifically for the VS Code integration and make sure that it has fairly basic vimrc with limited plugins. You have to take care with this because (neo)vim plugins don't always play nicely with VS Code and vice versa.
