<p>Decided to switch to lazyvim because I kept seeing people fly through code with just a keyboard and got tired of feeling slow</p>
<p>First impression: it's fast once it clicks, but the learning curve is very real; my vscode muscle memory is actively sabotaging me right now</p>
<p>here's what actually got me on day 1:</p>
<ul>
<li><p><strong>ctrl+c / ctrl+v</strong> don't mean what I think they mean anymore, tried to copy-paste like a normal person and just broke my whole flow</p>
</li>
<li><p><strong>commenting lines</strong> isn't a keyboard shortcut I already know; it's a whole new motion I have to build</p>
</li>
<li><p><strong>Which mode am I even in</strong>? I spent more time than I'll admit just staring at the bottom bar, trying to figure out if I'm about to type code or delete my file</p>
</li>
<li><p><strong>Jumping between words</strong> feels like it should be simple and instead feels like a boss fight</p>
</li>
</ul>
<p>The one thing I miss the most: autocomplete. Not gonna lie, vscode's autocomplete basically wrote half my code for me. But I'm in my second year of uni now, and if I keep leaning on it, I'm never actually gonna learn how to code properly, just how to accept suggestions. So that's gone on purpose, not by accident</p>
<p>It just means no more larping.... I'm lying, larping is a way of life</p>
<p>Verdict: painful, slower than before, but I can already feel why people don't go back once it clicks. More updates as I stumble through this</p>
