From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

First of all. This is not another "how do I exit vim?" shitpost.

I've been using (neo)vim for about two years and I started to notice, that I,m basically unable to use non-vim editors. I do not code a lot, but I write a lot of markown. I'd like to use dedicated tools for this, but their vim emulators are so bad. So I'm now stuck with my customized neovim, devoid of any hope of abandoning this strange addiction.

Any help or advice?

That's why for tables and katex equations I used plugins to help me with then to not be rough.

As for other stuff than vim, minimize the nees for them if it really gets hard.

Also, some tools have plugins to provide vim controls for them.

I know at least and use these:

There are probably more...

Your vim obsession is looking kinda unhealthy at this point.

I just prefer the vim bindings and motions, not an obsession. I use diff tools almost daily and can manage in them with no issues, but whenever I can use vim binding I will because they just feel better to me.

Idk, mister/miss. Your comment was pretty concerning.

I was talking for the op in that part tho, it can be seen from the context

Then I don't think it's a good advice. It's literally the opposite of what the OP asked.
