I prefer this version.
This is why I don't use vim. Can't spend all that mental energy on keybindings when I could spend it far more productively on KDE configuration options.
You guys are all insane, and need to find a more productive use of your time and energy.

Yβall just waste your time obsessing over dumb shit turns on tv and binges shows for 5 hours
What do you mean spend mental energy on keybindings? Sure it will take you a couple times to do them to remenber them but after that you will just know them without having to think about them.
I don't know if it took me more than a couple hours to learn enough keybindings to be more productive than in vscode, and later on I just learned more as I need them and am now able to use them without thinking about it.
I used to spend more time searching for the button to click with a mouse and remembering in what menu it was than it took me to learn and use vim keybindings.
But this is all diff from person to person.
Last night Spotify decided to dredge up "November Rain" by GnR and I realized that I still have neurons devoted to a perfect memory of the lead flute part of a rock power ballad that I listen to once every 5 years. I don't even play the flute.
And that flute part is the reason I've never quite gotten the hang of buffers in Vim.
Emacs for life, baby
Um akshually emacs is bad becuz it does follow the unix philosophy
But gnu's not unix...
Exactly
Hope your pinkies are ok

Can someone suggest a good way to lean VIM motions? Iβve been trying to use it as a VS Code extension but I donβt feel like Iβm making any progress.
I want to move away from VSCode but Iβm not comfortable doing that until I have a better understanding. :/
Try vimtutor on the commandline.
Interactive tutorial that takes place in vim itself :)
Thanks! Iβll do that! I guess Iβm missing out since I was using a Vim extension rather than Vim itself.
