I mostly agree with this. If you primarily work on java/kotlin/csharp etc. it is hard to live outside intellij universe.

I am a web developer & my current dev setup involves sway window manager(with vim style bindings), intellij (with IdeaVim), ranger file manager (has vim style bindings), firefox with vim vixen, and of course NeoVim (for editing scripts).

They are all disparate tools, and have their quirks around vim emulation, but overall its a good enough coherent experience that I am quite happy with.




If you want even more vim bindings in your life checkout vim emulation in the web browser. If you browse a lot of link heavy websites it's quite nice, and the shortcuts are good.

or qutebrowser https://qutebrowser.org/

qutebrowser is a keyboard-focused browser with a minimal GUI. It’s based on Python and PyQt5 and free software, licensed under the GPL.

It was inspired by other browsers/addons like dwb and Vimperator/Pentadactyl.


Qute is pretty cool. I have tried qute & vieb in past, but I do depend on other firefox extensions too, and intertia keeps pulling me back to FF.


How is Vimium different from Tridactyl?
