@elextr Vim is just so much more accurate and efficient than switching between mouse and keyboard. I just don't know why the programmers still use mouse. To change a word for instance, just type cw in vim. With the mouse, you move your hand to mouse, move the pointer, double click on the word, back to the keyboard and type. Vim is just improved Vi. It still runs in a terminal. It is good for editing single files. I have programmed Python just using Vim. It becomes difficult when you need helpers like cold folding, browsing folders, symbol view, auto-completion, saving sessions or work spaces automatically. There are several popular GUI editors already have Vim bindings. Those editor are written in Java, and Electron. There are all slow, huge size and huge memory compare to Geany for the same functions. That is why Vim users like to have coding features of native binary of Geany and editing power of Vi.
