I've been using i3 for years now. I experienced the same pain. Mac hijacks a lot of the child vm keybindings. I didn't have this problem with windows as the host os. But that doesn't really make sense. Best of luck with the transition. Posting from a thinkpad, with i3, pycharm and vim right now :).

I use i3, but i3 != vim. i3 can be configured to use vim bindings.

I didn't. Just saying I ran a similar setup as the parent poster.

T or X. There is no substitute.

The rest, as they say, is garbage.

T440s, but I was on a T430s earlier for work.
