My Favorite Vim Oneliners for Text Manipulation
One of the recent innovations in the Vim space that I've appreciated a lot is which-key by folke for Neovim: https://github.com/folke/which-key.nvim
It makes keybindings in vim discoverable, it's quite magical. For example, press g and get a table of all the various commands that follow from there. Press mapleader and get a table of various commands from there, etc.

Should I learn lua? I am a vs code power user, which prevents me from completely adapting neovim, since I always find something is missing in neovim.
3) I'd recommend using Telescope, more specifically, :Telescope keympas. There's also which-key, which might be more intuitive, but I haven't used it.

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.
