Or just use vim in Sublime Text through vintage mode or the vintageous plugin. I use mouse navigation plenty when browsing code, but a mouse is never going to be as effective at routine tasks like changing text inside a matching bracket, switching case, etc., none of which require dealing with vim plugins. Sure, all those things can be done through an IDE like ST without vi bindings, but only by memorizing even stranger meta key combinations that don't combine into a powerful grammar like vi.


Yeah I came in to say using vintage mode + VintageEx is fantastic and what I spend 80% of my time developing in.


I do this and it's really the best of both worlds.
