jupyter-vim-binding VS vimpyter

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

You could maybe try https://github.com/szymonmaszke/vimpyter, but to be honest vim isn't a very good choice for editing Jupyter notebooks.

It looks to me like their approach could work, using proxy files and stuff. I'd just need to make it much more general. But good place to start, thanks!
