How do you get over wanting to use VIM motions throughout the OS?

• SketchyVim

  14 543 5.1 C

  Adds all vim moves and modes to macOS text fields

I can never reach 100% because somethings just suck without a mouse. I could do more such as switch to mutt, find a slack client or plugin, install sketchyVim, but there comes a point where you are chasing the dragon of diminishing returns.

• Amethyst

  148 14,149 6.8 Swift

  Automatic tiling window manager for macOS à la xmonad.

I'd suggest having a look at Amethyst instead. It is loosely based on xmonad and requires fewer permissions, while still having plenty of features.

  Fifi Keyboard 🐶 ⌨️

I use a custom keyboard with a vim navigation layer. With my previous keyboard I simulated that (on MacOS) with karabiner .

• yabai

  218 21,317 9.1 C

  A tiling window manager for macOS based on binary space partitioning

• vimac

  28 3,326 0.0 Swift

  Productive macOS keyboard-driven navigation

I'm also mostly a macOS user at the moment, but have been using desktop Linux more since most of my "software toolkit" is FOSS anyway so it's a pretty lateral transition. But I did recently start using Vimac to get Vimium-like hjkl and f-like mouse movement on non-browser windows. It's actually a little more robust than most of the Vim-like browser extensions.

• vira

  2 93 1.3 Vim Script

  Create and update your Jira issues while inside Vim!

Have you tried vira? If that kind of thing excites you, then emacs + evil-mode might be a better fit, since they're more the "build everything into the editor" philosophy.

• Surfingkeys

  40 5,046 7.2 JavaScript

  Map your keys for web surfing, expand your browser with javascript and keyboard.

+1 I came here to say Surfingkeys. So much time is spent in the browser, having vim for it is priceless.

• WorkOS

  The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  

• vim-pastenreplace

  1 0 10.0 Vim Script

  Quickly transform pasted text with vim.

I do something similar, but from within vim. With vim-pastenreplace you can do:

• kindaVim.docs

  35 594 5.4

  Ultimate Vim Mode for macOS
