If you’re trying to achieve VS Code with the keyboard navigation of vim, have you given the VSCode vim plugin a try? I’ve had positive experiences mixing editors/IDEs with a vim plugin to get the best of both for my workflow.

I use this but my god the VS Code vim plugin pisses me off sometimes. It's good probably 99% of the time. But I feel that (from time to time) it collapses multiple commands into a single undo action.

Frequently I find myself frustrated that I can't undo exactly what I need to, and it ends up undoing more than I want it to. I never had this problem with vim but with vscode, I probably experience it once a day.

That plugin’s handling of undo drove me absolutely nuts! It would randomly decide to eat the entire undo stack when I accidentally mixed the native cmd+z with using u to undo. At least I think that’s what happened… I was never able to reproduce it on command, though. It would happen unexpectedly, and often would destroy a whole swath of text that was then impossible to get back.

I switched to the vscode-neovim plugin which works better… at least, it doesn’t do this undo thing, and it’s faster. But it’s not entirely perfect either and lately the command/insert/cursor location has been bugging out.

This. VSCode has so many great features. Adding in keybindings for vim via a plugin has worked great for me.
