this needs a category of plugins to other editors/ide that provide vim like experiences.
UPDATE: It does have a category of plugins.... it's a separate tab at the top disguised as a button

#92Why is "IDEs, Word Processors, Editors with Vi-modes" missing IntelliJ/JetBrains, VSCode, Atom, and Sublime? All of those have vim modes (of varying quality, I'm sure).
because, and I made the same mistake, there is a button up the top called "plugins" that takes you to a page with that kind of stuff.

#93Earlier quoted context omitted.
Same here - I used qutebrowser exclusively for a couple months, but in the end I couldn't handle all the annoying popups and autoplaying videos in modern websites - all things that you can block with a single plugin in Firefox, together with ads. Too bad, because Vim plugins never allow full UI control in Firefox(e.g. closing an empty "new tab" is impossible with Vim plugins). Recently I switched from Vimium to Surfi…
Try Vivaldi (chromium based browser with a LOT of settings). I had the same problem until I downloaded it, you can natively bind a key to close current tab, it will work on new tabs (and files)
I have tried Vivaldi multiple times, the last time it still had noticeable input delay and slow performance...but support for Philips Hue lights.
Not quite what I'm looking for. I've tried so many browsers and in the end I've always come back to Firefox.

>closing an empty "new tab" is impossible with Vim plugins ctrl+w (is default browser shortcut)
Oh well, I guess sometimes reading the manual is a good idea. Thanks for the tip.

#95Missing from this list: Vimium - Vim for Chrome Ideavim - Vim for IntelliJ/PyCharm/WebStorm
look at the top of the page and click the "Plugins" button

#96The one of these that I've come to adore the most is the ranger file manager. I almost never use any GUI file managers (or command line tools, for that matter) for file management after starting to use ranger seriously. It's so fast and works exactly the way I want it to. I've also hooked my terminal up such that I'm cd'ed into whatever folder I last navigated to in ranger (I use the alias `rd` for this), so I virtua…
Protip: If you use bash or zsh, you can source the ranger executable for this behavior (so the full command would be ". ranger"). If you're on fish, there is a patch pending for review, that soon will be available on master.
I don't observe a difference between `ranger` and `. ranger` in zsh. What am I supposed to notice?

Well if you ever get the urge to try again, try disabling hardware acceleration. It fixed that problem for me.

#98In the graphical browser category, I have tried Qutebrowser and it is neat. However, Firefox remains as my primary web browser. I use the Vimium plugin with Firefox. It provides Vim-like key bindings for many commonly used browsing tasks. My most favourite commands in Vimum are 'f' and 'F'. The 'f' or 'F' command creates key combinations for all the links found in the page. It highlights the key combinations in littl…
Ever since I started using vimium, it's become a need for me. It's the reason I don't use safari despite its better performance on a macbook. Weirdly enough, none of the people I've tried to convince to use it has stuck with it - all very tech literate people.
Vimium for Safari exists now, btw.

#99I can also mention some ZZT editors: KevEdit has (disabled by default) support for using hjkl to move, but it otherwise doesn't have much vi-like stuff. ZZTQED is more vi-like; it also can use hjkl for cursor movement, and also supports numeric prefixes, and some other stuff (although regular expressions are not implemented).
Re: Big Pile of Vim-Like
#100When I see things like this, it reminds me that what makes vim special is not the software but it’s keybindings. That is why there are so many clones like spacemacs or VScodeVim. You can take the vim keys and you basically have the whole package but using your own software.
Probably not just keybindings but vi's mnemonic combinations, in particular. It's an entire language that makes vi(m) insanely expressive.
Vim is like APL for text editing.
