Comment on Ask HN: How do you use Vim in the era of AI?parent

Comments

I’m still not exactly at the point where I don’t need the IDE. I still like Idea products for their indexing and navigation - I’m just used to them.

Codex doesn’t yet do a good job showing diffs nicely. Nor with navigation.

I agree I reach out to the IDE less and less now.

Just change the idea that vim is the IDE. It's tmux/terminal. That gives you access to thousands of tools right inside your IDE.

There's a ton of tools for viewing diffs. I just pipe the diff into a viewer with vim-style navigation.

Finding files in vim is great, with the "ctrl+p" plug-in .
