What is your favorite keymap/keybindings? Vim/VS Code/Intellij IDEA

I'm trying to unify my keybindings across the editors and not sure which one to choose!

I recommend vim keybindings! They work the same in pretty much all editors, and even browsers. Pick up a browser extension like vimium and feel the power

Does vim support multiline cursor?

• If you're looking for exact Sublime behaviors, there are plugins for that

• If you're looking for visual editing columns together, ctrl+v works with vanilla vim

• If you're looking for find-and-replace behavior, use :%s/find/replace/g

• If you want to repeat a transformation on similar keywords, you can use * to search for the keyword under the cursor and use . to repeat your edit

• If you want to repeat a complicated transformation, you can use q to create a macro and then repeat it with @
