Run a 100 FPS GPU-rendered Vim With macOS Hot Keys, Shared Copy & Paste, Remote Collaboration, Session Save/Resume, Crash Recovery, and More
What a fully loaded, hot-key enabled, but still lightning fast Vim setup looks like
By following the hot keys setup in this article, we can make terminal Vim/Neovim feel just like any native app, or working in an editor like VS Code. You’ll be able to use Vim in iTerm2, Kitty, or Alacritty—or your terminal of choice—while still keeping your standard hot keys for copy, paste, switching tabs (this guide will focus on binding command key, but you can substitute with control key.) By running your Vim in a terminal, you get features like collaborative editing for free (through Teleconsole).
Pair it with my recommended Vim config for a fully loaded yet blazing fast IDE experience:
Lightning-fast 100 FPS GPU-rendered Vim (via Kitty) that’s still easy on your processor and battery
Full mouse support: switch tabs by clicking, click on menu items, select text, etc.
Full standard OS hot keys: CMD+C/V to copy and paste, CMD+T for new tab, CMD+W to close tab, CMD+{ or } to switch tabs, etc. (whoever told you that you can’t map the command (⌘ CMD) key in regular VIM was wrong!)
Code hints, auto complete, syntax and code linting, type and method signatures—all as you type
Super fast project-wide file search and even text/symbol search
Save and resume sessions, even on crashes
Live synced editor for remote collaboration (via Teleconsole)
