jupyter-vim-binding VS nvim-ipy

I already use jupytext to store notebooks as code but the improved state management and notebook-as-app features are pretty compelling and I'm trying it out.

Unfortunately, I'm quite used to very specific vim keybindings in Jupyter (https://github.com/lambdalisue/jupyter-vim-binding) that make it pretty hard to use anything else :/

On the on hand: cool, if you're an avid emacsen or a vimmer, yeah, ok. OTOH, gosh that is such a cluttered and cumbersome setup. Just bring in vim/emacs bindings to your jupyter: https://github.com/lambdalisue/jupyter-vim-binding. There's a handful of plugins, choose one.

Whatever the final solution everyone decides should be, I just hope it doesn't involve having two redundant windows open side-by-side like that.

Use jupyter-vim-bindings! Works really well!! https://github.com/lambdalisue/jupyter-vim-binding

Also, you can check out the vim key-binding extension if you are a loyal vim user like me! https://github.com/lambdalisue/jupyter-vim-binding

In my setup the figures appear as new windows on my other monitor, which works really well. If you want to display the figures inline, you can for example use QtConsole. You would then need another plugin to connect vim and IPython, for example vim-ipython (no support for cells as far as I know) or nvim-ipy (for neovim). Here's an article that describes a setup with the latter: https://www.blog.gambitaccepted.com/2020/04/26/neovim-qtconsole-setup/

There's also nvim-ipy (but I don't use neovim, so I can't recommend it).
