VSpaceCode VS vscode-sublime-keybindings

Try VSpaceCode.

I use the extension package called VSpaceCode keeps my hand on the keyboard 90% of the time.

I can highly recommend VSpaceCode: https://vspacecode.github.io/

What has helped me with the consolidation is the ubiquity of my preferred key bindings. I use vim keys with spacemacs like bindings.

On emacs, doom-emacs[1] gives me the bindings. On VSCode, VSpaceCode[2], on Jetbrains Rider, Intellimacs[3]. While there are minor differences between the implementations, I have very limited friction when switching between IDEs.

I have paid for the Jetbrains ultimate subscription as I also use DataGrip. I think I’ll be satisfied with the current version of their IDEs for the next 2 years even if I decide to cancel the sub.

For setting up VSCode as a modal editor with mnemonic keys use https://vspacecode.github.io/. It wont be as good as doom/spacemacs but its for sure better than VSCode vanilla

Productivity is purely subjective and the most minimal and customizable solution is not always the answer. My personal solution is doom emacs for productivity with org mode, text authoring with latex / pandoc and random text editing and VSCode with VSpaceCode for coding.

Then Spacemacs is probably the most nicely configured editor in existence. It improves over Vim by making the SPC the central leader key, and adding highly intuitive mnemonic keybindings. Really, check out Spacemacs for 5 minutes, and I guess you will understand the beautiful concept and using it you will have the power of Emacs and Vim combined (and improved on) in one. You should not just take my words without checking them, but I can tell you that I have checked out the various 'Spacemacs imitations', spacevim, vspacecode, atom with which-key, but they all pale by comparison to Spacemacs (Doom emacs is a good competitor but personally I prefer Spacemacs and definitely I would recommend it over Doom for beginners).

Compare this to an official microsoft maintained keymap such as sublime package.json.

It could go without saying but getting good at Codespaces for most may mean getting good at VS Code. Technically you could bring your own editor like Vim or Emacs. But trust me, as a recent Sublime Text convert, switching to VS Code is worth it. Make sure to take the time to Google, learn, and in some cases install packages that make the transition easier.
