In order to increase efficiency while navigating around code, AIMMS introduced keyboard shortcuts. In combination with the os specific keybindings you can edit code using just the keyboard as well. This enables users to edit code without switching between mouse and keyboard all the time.
VIM motions enable developers to increase code navigation and editing efficiency even more. (If you are not familiar with VIM motions see this article). While these motions were originally designed for the code editor VIM (Wikipedia), many popular IDE’s now support VIM motions through plugins (Like vscodevim for VS Code and ideaVim for Jetbrains products).
Would it be possible for AIMMS to implement VIM emulation in order to use VIM motions to navigate around and edit code faster?
Any ideas how this may be implemented by the community if no official support can be arranged?
