How to quit VIM? (szmer.info)

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?

I don't know if this will work for you, and I'm not sure if you're only looking for TUI editors, but Obsidian has vi key bindings and a lot of plugins.

Disclaimer: I have not tried the vi key bindings in Obsidian.

Another one I use is vscode. It has a ton of markdown plugins and vi key bindings. It also has a nice preview window.

    Obsidian should not be suggested for general use without the disclaimer that you have to pay if you use it for any work in most cases (unless you work for a very small place or a non-profit). I think their license is probably one of the most unintentionally violated around, kind of can’t believe they’re on flathub.

    Commercial use means using Obsidian for revenue-generating or work-related activities within a for‑profit organization that has two or more employees. Government departments and agencies are considered commercial use, unless registered as a non-profit organization.

    Excellent point. I had forgotten about this. I work for a non profit so I'm ok, but yes you should absolutely check the terms of the license before using. On the upside, almost everything is markdown files in regular folders, so you can fall back to vim anytime.
