Not "move the current line of code", but instead "jump the cursor a number of lines"
Oh so like page up/down then? Not exactly showing the raw power of Vim when you can use an existing key press! ๐
I can't tell if you're trolling; Page up and page down are different from "I need to jump 10 lines down" with
10j. Or 11 lines with11j. Or "Delete the line I'm on and the six below it" withd6j.They're not significantly different. Maybe it takes you 1s and me 2s. Not worth the effort of learning. Especially because Vim comes with significant downsides compared to full IDEs that will make you slower overall.
Name a downside, I'll tell you how you're probably wrong
You can't have a full integrated debug session with a watch window, locals (with an expandable tree for objects), stack, breakpoint list all visible at once. I.e. something comparable to this.
You can get pretty close to the same experience with https://github.com/mfussenegger/nvim-dap, any others?
If you consider that "pretty close" then I think you're going to dismiss anything else I say as insignificant anyway.
I do; you're only dismissing it because it's formatted differently from the exact workflow you're describing, but it's certainly just as powerful if not more so
