vim-quickui VS Vim

I agree with the article. Turbo Pascal was terrific. There is some kind of psychological thing that has me using neovim in a terminal all the time for many years.

I guess it's convenient for ssh. But I miss the conveniences of Borland IDEs. Even last night I was working on a web application and was tempted to add a menu at the top of the page, remembering how useful they were back in Turbo Pascal and such.

I did a Google search and found this https://github.com/skywind3000/vim-quickui

skywind3000/vim-quickui

You can see this project to base yourself: https://github.com/skywind3000/vim-quickui

maybe not directly related to the question, this project makes vim look like TurboC, the author mentions, that he has configuration that does so. https://github.com/skywind3000/vim-quickui

would love to see - cascading menu - ability to click in menu like in https://github.com/skywind3000/vim-quickui/

Are you familiar with https://github.com/skywind3000/vim-quickui ? Maybe you will find some inspiration there.

I assume you mean something similar to the GUI menubar in emacs? Currently this isn't possible in rust, which is what we use, but its somewhat possible within vim as well (https://github.com/skywind3000/vim-quickui). Considering vim is very keyboard centric, a gui menu doesn't appeal to me much

I guess he was using this plugin: https://github.com/skywind3000/vim-quickui

Maybe this will help a bit, this person made a lot of really cool Vim UI components, like a Preview window. https://github.com/skywind3000/vim-quickui#preview-window

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 ...
