A Practical Guide to fzf: Vim Integration

LazyVim
You might be interested in installing the fzf-vim plugin [0]. It has a user-defined command :Maps which can be used to search through all keybindings (you can also do this with just :nmap in vim, but the fzf interface is much nicer). It also provides :Commands. This behaves remarkably like VSCode's command palette.

Project & File navigation
use a fuzzy finder, I like https://github.com/nvim-telescope/telescope.nvim (when I was a vim user, it was https://github.com/kien/ctrlp.vim)

If you are going to install a load of plugins anyways, why not just use an IDE that has vim mode?
Ctrlp.vim existed prior to VSCode.
