If it's just using the keyboard that's holding you back from VSCode, you'll be pleased to know it has plenty of its own shortcuts, as well as a "VIM navigation" mode you can turn on.

Vim mode in vscode is not even close to emulating a real neovim setup.

OP specifically mentioned "using keyboard to navigate". If that's all you need, then VSCodeVim can get you pretty far.

For doing something quick, VS Code's Vim mode is… fine. But not if you're something serious. I often quit it in disgust and go back to Neovim.
