Modeless Vim
There is a well known plugin for neovim to do this kind of behavior. You can even create your own hotkeys into that plugin and will help you navigate and memorize different hotkeys for the editor. The plugin is called whichkey, and this is their github https://github.com/folke/which-key.nvim

How to Transform Vim to a Complete IDE?
By default, most of nvim packages have WhichKey plugin which shows popup with available commands. For instance, you press space or g and what for a second:

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.

LazyVim
>The problem with that is that for some rarely used action one forgets...
Install https://github.com/folke/which-key.nvim and you will always have a popup that will tell you what keys to use next.

Set it and forget it plugins?
folke/which-key.nvim will help with you with your key maps.

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.

How could one learn to customize Neovim?
If you're ready for it, a more involved but potentially useful plugin is which-key, for key-bindings and navigation thereof.

Just got neovim up and working
This goes straight into my init.lua (or in another file if you want to have them separated), then I use https://github.com/folke/which-key.nvim and map (space + c) to (i think it was like that I lost that config part) :doautocmd exe_code. Long story short, I create a vim command that changes depending on the type of file, I execute it with an extension, of course you can map it and forget about which-key but it's a pretty convinient tool for me. There are probably other (even better) methods)but this is what I use. I'm afraid you'll have to get your hands a little bit dirty or find a plugin that does it for you :=)

Thinking about migrating from vim, why should I?
which-key, which is probably a biggest quality of life improvement in neovim ecosystem. It gives you contextual help for composable commands, like registers, marks and motions. Nobody can use marks or registers to full extent, because nobody is going to hold 30+ of them in their head. But with which-key, you can. Same for motions - many are useful, but you just don't use them often enough to remember them. But with which-key, you can.

:syntax off (2016)
I could never turn it off completely but I do sometimes use the Acme theme during the day (it's too bright in the evening), which highlights just comments, strings, and errors.

Lapce
I've used vim at a moderate proficiency level for 10+ years, but Helix's selection -> action motion design is just better.
Helix has been looking for a GUI solution for a while now. ( https://github.com/helix-editor/helix/issues/39 ) I wonder if Lapce's UI toolkit would be a good fit.
You can use a snippet LSP to work around Helix not having a built-in LSP manager. They're listed in https://github.com/helix-editor/helix/issues/395

Memray – A Memory Profiler for Python
I'm probably not the average python programmer.
But I normally just create two terminals (I have a tiling window manager) and in one I open a python file under /tmp/ write my code and execute it in the other terminal.
I would probably use a REPL if it was integrated in my favorite editor ( https://helix-editor.com ).

Neovide – a simple, no-nonsense, cross-platform GUI for Neovim
Hm, i wasn't much of a user of visual mode in vim. Seems something like gv is coming to helix:
https://github.com/helix-editor/helix/issues/1596
What does g; do?
Helix has (experimental?) macro record/playback q/Q?
I would recommend the helix editor[1].
You won't get the deep magic of emacs, or the benefit of learning vi key bindings (sadly there's not yet a helix mode for gnu readline) - but you get a great modal editing experience, good defaults and great discoverability.
I moved from vim/neovim a while back - and now I find vi/vim verb-object (d[delete]w[ord]) yanky compared hx visual select/object-verb (wd).
I've been using vim for some 15-20 years prior.
Oh, neat: https://github.com/helix-editor/helix/issues/39#issue-908964...
Looks like a Neovide author wants to abstract Neovide to support other editors! Imagine that's a big lift, though.
Wow, that's been there a while: https://github.com/helix-editor/helix/commit/35c974c9c49f912...
Wonder how I missed that. I'm getting a re-education in helix today -- thank you! I'll go through `hx --tutor` again before I insert any more feet in my mouth.
