Re:Helix: a post-modern modal text editor by fourseventy on Tuesday June 01, 2021 @04:18PM (#27360699)
Using the mouse to highlight text in order to copy/paste it has always been a pain for me. Especially if the text is wider than the screen. I'm constantly highlight too much or too little. For me its way easier to use vim commands to grab the text I want. Its just one small example, but I can say for certain that I'm faster at editing text in vim than I ever was in a Jetbrains or VSCode editor.
