Hey Marcin :) Really dig this. A much friendlier alternative to Swift development than having to use the monstrosity that is Xcode. Especially for people that want to get something done quickly. The Linux support is also really cool. The Xcode-alternatives market is really starved, so I'm very happy this exists. It's possible to configure VSCode to support Swift, but that's a lot of configuration and messing around.

When Vim bindings? ;)

it works really great with https://kindavim.app/ which adds vim everywhere. problem solved.
I also stumbled upon https://github.com/FelixKratz/SketchyVim but haven't used it yet, though I am using JankyBorders
Thanks for sharing! Not sure why I never looked for something like this as I’ve tried to inject vim everywhere I can.
Is there anything like this for Linux? Or at least for individual UI systems (GTK etc.)?

Maybe I’m missing something but the last time I did this I clicked “install” on the official Swift VSCode extension and that was it. Not a lot of messing around needed, for me at least!
