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?

    Need more info.

    The answer will still and always be, just use nvim.

    What features do these dedicated tools have that make you want to use something other than nvim?

        Something like vim-table-mode work as an improvement? You got me there though, tables can be a real pain in a terminal.

        For the second, I setup an on save hook or watch script to build a PDF and open it. Its been a minute, but I think I had to find a PDF viewer that would refresh if already open and keep the current position on subsequent opens.

        Best of luck finding something that works for you!
