My setup: vim -> ctrl + z -> claude -> ctrl + c -> fg

it's a shame vim is so stinky because after 15 years of using it now i find myself using vscode. I always like vim because editing is efficient. Now I dont write as much as supervise a lot of the boilerplate code.

Over the years I have gotten better with vim, added phpactor and other tooling, but frankly i dont have time to futz and its not so polished. With VSCode I can just work. I don't love everything about it, but it works well enough with copilot i forgot the benefits of vim.

I get your experience, but for me using vim is perfect for code exploration. The only needed plugins are fzf.vim and vinegar. The first for fuzzy navigation and the second for quickly browsing the current directory.

LSP experience with VSCode may be superior, but if I truly needed that, I would get an IDE and have proper intellisense. The LSP in Vim and Emacs is more than enough for my basic requirements, which are auto-imports, basic linting, and autocomplete to avoid misspellings. VSCode lacks Vim's agility and Emacs's powerful text tooling, and do far worse on integration.

good luck copy and pasting with vim with tmux in the mix

Skill issue on your part
