AnkiVim VS brain-brew

Have you seen AnkiVim or External Editor? These solutions don't embed vim/neovim but you still can use it to edit fields.

I was able to use Brain Brew https://github.com/ohare93/brain-brew/ to import my CSV (eventually). You'll need some programming knowledge (I'm new to Python but I got it working). Basic steps for me was 1) Create a deck in Anki with 1 record; 2) export it in JSON (after installing CrowdAnki); 3) use Brain Brew to convert the JSON to files in a src directory - using the starter repo was helpful https://github.com/ohare93/brain-brew-starter; 4) include the CSV file in the project; 5) use Brain Brew to convert the src files into a deck that can be uploaded (a "build"); 6) use CrowdAnki to import the newly generated build.

Have you had a look at Brain Brew? It's the tool we use to manage the Ultimate Geography deck. First, you'd have to export your other deck with the CrowdAnki addon, then write a Brain Brew recipe to parse the CrowdAnki JSON export and spit out the data and note type to CSV/YAML. Once you have that, you'd have to fork/clone the UG repo, then write a recipe to generate a CrownAnki JSON file that combines the two decks, and finally import that JSON file into Anki.

Sounds like you'd like Brain Brew, if Markdown was added as a Source type. Currently has two way sync between Csv and CrowdAnki, and the conversion is all abstracted so that other source types can be added.
