thinking about pairing https://www.cursorless.org/ with a keyboard to free up a lot of editing bindings and make the rest of my config more first-order-usable as an experiment but I know I'll regret it because I really need to keep muscle memory on bindings that will carry over to things I don't need commercial licenses approved for, just in case.
the "learn vi so when that's all you've got on a remote box you can still live" argument is kind of moot these days, but the "well yeah but what if some company bans all plugins because they could be used for corporate espionage" is still a possibility and a reason to learn one of the ones the existing devs would revolt over if they tried to ban. maybe vscode is at that point, honestly. that's a scary thought.
