Vim in Other Editors
VS Code, JetBrains, browsers — you can take it with you.
Most popular editors and IDEs have a Vim emulation mode or plugin. Quality varies but the basics work everywhere. Browsers can have Vim-style keybindings via Vimium / Tridactyl.
Once Vim becomes muscle memory, you'll want it everywhere. Most major editors and many other tools support Vim emulation.
