I Start Using VIM! (IdeaVim)

Background

So in the last 2 week i decided to stop being a soy dev and start using vim (joke stolen from: Vim in 100 sec by fireship). The reason why I suddenly want to use vim is the youtube video from devaslife, on that video he show us how to make portofolio using react and other stuff, while front end stuff is not my jazz and i only watch that video for asmr sound while code (don’t ask me why), but i very impressed by his very efficient work flow.

Here is Takuya Matsuyama a.k.a devaslife video that inspire me to use vim

My Journey

The existance of vim is not really new thing to me, i already use it to edit config or simple text file. Unfortunately i’m too lazy to use neovim and customize it like devaslife, that why i choose webstorm + IdeaVim since i already getting used to that IDE.

My thought

After using IdeaVim for a while i really satisfied about my workflow, IdeaVim integrate with webstorm easily, and i start to forget about my mouse existance. The difficulty i experienced for the first time was the navigation using H J K L i found it hard to get used to and i still found myself reach out the arrow key sometimes.
