If you are going to install a load of plugins anyways, why not just use an IDE that has vim mode?

• jq

  306 25,063 0.0 C

  Discontinued Command-line JSON processor [Moved to: https://github.com/jqlang/jq] (by stedolan)

  

I also use jq a lot, and run custom bash scripts doing all kinds of things from opening a project's GitHub page to opening a project's web monitoring page.

• ranger

  165 14,889 6.5 Python

  A VIM-inspired filemanager for the console

  

Running a native vim also lets me quickly bring up a log or blame with tig inside vim, or run ranger if I need to do some trickier file operations.

• vimspector

  100 4,002 8.0 Vim Script

  vimspector - A multi-language debugging system for Vim

Since I use git 100 % in the terminal (often with tig) it just makes sense to not leave that environment. I use an LSP and even do a bit of debugging vim vimspector sometimes, for the IDE experience.

• tig

  59 12,151 6.5 C

  Text-mode interface for git

  Manage your dotfiles across multiple diverse machines, securely.

You really shouldn’t use a google doc for your config files😅 just store them in a git repository. I use https://github.com/twpayne/chezmoi, it can be a bit confusing at first but when you understand the tool it is really powerful. Especially if you have different machines that need slightly different configurations

• ctrlp.vim

  10 7,256 0.0 VimL

  Fuzzy file, buffer, mru, tag, etc finder.

Ctrlp.vim existed prior to VSCode.

• ranger-explorer.vim

  1 36 10.0 Vim Script

  Vim plugin to use ranger as a file explorer. Seamless switching between vim and ranger.

I thought you and I have similar tastes in TUI tools. Try following tim plugins, https://github.com/iberianpig/tig-explorer.vim https://github.com/iberianpig/ranger-explorer.vim
