I really wish I could just put a native neovim or vim text editor inside VSCode and call it a day. I absolutely love the lightning fast experience of editing with vim. When I know exactly what I want to do, I feel like I just ripped a line of spice and piloted a trade vehicle across Frank Herbert's universe.

But a lot of my job is exploring a code base and trying to figure out what the hell is going on, and I have to concede that setting up vim to do this kind of broad exploration isn't that great. Being able to click around at random and juggle tabs in the UI instead of storing buffers in my head is nice. I know vim can solve all of this, but I just found myself gravitating towards VSCode when I'm crunched for time and can't be bothered with vim.

Have you looked at the "VSCode Neovim" extension? It uses a native neovim editor in the background (instead of just emulating VIM like VSCodeVim), so the editing experience is the same as native vim.

Have you tried the vscode-neovim extension? That's basically what it does.

It sounds like that's exactly what I was looking for. Thank you!
