Eh, I used ViEmu for a few years which is supposed to be better? It had problems with ctr-i/ctrl-o and switching tabs and some other stuff stuff as well.

What do you mean by "n"? Moving to the next position in a search? You can structure a macro to end with going to the position of next edit. Then you can hit 100@@ or whatever and do all of the edits in one go.

Learning muscle memory for nonstandard mappings is a bad idea. I used "jk" as an escape for a long time. It's nicer than using esc, but no other program that has vim emulation supports mappings like that.

Also, you can do <num>@q (e.g. 4@q) anyways, and @@ to repeat a macro, so that isn't that useful of a remapping anyways.

Don't get me wrong, ide's are terrible, they're just better than anything else we have right now. And I'm someone who has programmed with vim and plugins, bash and friends, etc. for 10+ years, so it's not like I've only used ide's. Writing code can be fine with the more minimalist approach, but ide's are much better for reading and navigating previously written code.

? Of course, it's just my opinion.

I feel like this has been posted 100 times on here and /r/programming. Anyways, if you don't know vim, I wouldn't waste your time learning. It is a better way of editing text than chord based editors, but ide's are much nicer tools for development. And if you're using one, there's going to be significant mousing around anyways, and none of emulation modes are that great for the non text editing/navigation stuff.

KDE used to have some built in remote editing stuff in Konqueror, I don't know if it's still there or got moved into Dolphin, or removed.
