I have mapped esc+hjkl to arrow keys system-wide and moved esc to capslock, which is a already a game changer.
The respect for vim and especially vim keybindings is definitely there, I use it for editing bashrc‘s or similar or inspecting stuff in the terminal, but what do you recommend to get over the hump of learning it better such that e.g. vimbindings in vscode could replace the standard?
For code, I use vscode currently, so your example would be:
* cmd capslock h (to go to the beginning of the line)
* alt capslock l (to move right to the first word and off the whitespace)
* cmd d (to highlight the word und the cursor)
* F2 to rename the symbol codebase-wide or cmd shift g to select all occurrences in the file
* retype the word in allcaps (enter if F2 was used)
