I’m thinking of switching from VSC to VIM because VSC is too heavy in term of ressources usage.

Currently, I use the VSC + VIM extension and I’m pretty happy.

But nowadays, I avoid to open some monorepo projects because it takes too much time and I use the Github explorer instead. Also, I use the mouse too much.

So I finally took the decision to give a try to Neovim.

I initially started with SpaceVIM and it was a good experience. But there is too much magic for me. Also, I have the feeling to not learn VIM.

So I setup CoC with VIM-plug + NerdTree. It looks promising.

Do you have any tips for me?

    Using shift+hjkl for 10 line jumps you lose J to combine lines which I find myself using a lot. Do you have those kind of things bound to something else or do you just not use them?

      One option is to use alt+hjkl instead. Vim can be a bit weird about alt mappings so nothing is bound to alt by default. Neovim has better alt support out of the box so it’s a good way to add extra mappings without conflicting with the default ones.
