Actually you can do it with:

<cmd>-<right>, <option-left>, <option-shift-right>, baz

And considering you didn't have to press <mode>: beforehand, it can be just as fast.

I'm a vim user, but using it for something like Objective-C in place of the wonderful autocomplete in Xcode would be a totally dumb thing to do. It's simply not smart enough to improve my productivity, even with the slight speed increases with text-manipulation.

Try out xvim if you want to use Xcode + vim. It's still alpha but I use it for all my Xcode editing. Patches welcome.

That's why I switched to AppCode for Objective-C code editing. It has pretty good Vim bindings plugin, and you still have an autocomplete.
