Configuring Vim for VSCode: Keybindings, Productivity Tips, and Tricks

In addition to post about configuring VIM in my favorite IDEs, such as PHPStorm and VisualStudio, I want to describe about installing it for VSCode. It's kinda trivial, but I want to add some additions and remarks. Ok, let's begin.

Installation:

Go to plugins and find a plugin named Vim

Also, I really advice you to read official plugin manual. It's full of useful information and configuration tips. **For me, the most useful parts were:**Adding alias Esc -> JJ

<pre class="lang:js" decode:true="">vim.insertModeKeyBindings: [
    {
        before: [
            j,
            j
        ],
        after: [
            <Esc>
        ]
    }
],

Adding tabs by pressing Shift + > together:

<pre class="lang:js" decode:true="">vim.insertModeKeyBindings: [
    {
        before: [
            >
        ],
        commands: [
            editor.action.indentLines
        ]
    },
    {
        before: [
            <
        ],
        commands: [
            editor.action.outdentLines
        ]
    },
],

And, also, one regular config: vim.useSystemClipboard: true, which allows you to share VIM and system OS clipboard
