Vim VS swot

I find the Vim extension for VS Code has macro support that is good enough for most of my use cases (if you’re a fan of Vim key bindings - obviously).

https://github.com/VSCodeVim/Vim/blob/master/ROADMAP.md#repe...

that's why I just use https://github.com/VSCodeVim/Vim if I have to use VSCode

They have discussions enabled on the GitHub repository; eventually r/vscode might be of help.

What you would learn from using a neovim addon for VS Code covers most of the first point and some of the second - VSCode Vim lets you run neovim in a headless mode that relays keypresses to it, and emulates several popular addons. It also comes without quite as much hassle as comes from the second step of learning to configure vim/neovim yourself. Most VSCode extensions work pretty well out of the box, maybe requiring you to add the path to a compiler/interpreter that is not on your PATH.

The extension does have visualedit. You can check the list of supported features here: https://github.com/VSCodeVim/Vim/blob/HEAD/ROADMAP.md

I though VSCode's vim emulation had issues with code folding

Either I go with K552 or save for RK84 if not CB-GK-16 and both of these are pretty good choice that's certain, or I go with 617 Fizz and use VIM keybinding which Isn't an issue for me cause I've been using NeoVim for more than 1 year, you can grab my dotfiles if you want. Most people won't go with 60% cause they are used to arrow, home, end ... keys so am I with vs code but today I found out about vscodevim extension which enables vim keybinding , these keybindings pretty easy to use more than arrow, home, end .. keys if yo're a vim user like Shift + $ = end, Shift + 0 = home, in visual mode V to select text etc ...

I have mentioned this in other reddit posts, we use SWOT by JetBrains to make sure the .edu email being used is valid. We also do not accept applications from domains that have been blacklisted by them for fraud. You can find this list here.

No problem, just apply with an official document here. Also, doesn't need to be a US high school. I can tons of accepted high school domains from other countries in their GitHub repo, for example this random middle/high school from Germany.

JetBrains, as far as I'm aware, just checks the domain of your email against this repository, sends you a verification email to make sure the address is actually real and belongs to you, and doesn't ask any questions behind that. You can do this over and over in perpetuity, even if you're a staff or faculty member rather than a student.

Or some text files on github

https://github.com/JetBrains/swot/tree/master/lib/domains check if your email domain is listed here. Then it also works. (Or just register as Student License and wait if it works)

Actually I found a archive in here that list all the academic domains https://github.com/JetBrains/swot/tree/master/lib/domains

JetBrains uses this open library to verify email addresses for its own student licenses. I guess that means it's free and somewhat battle-tested.
