VSCode Neovim Settings & Keymaps (WIP)

This repository contains my personal VSCode settings and keybindings for integrating Neovim with VSCode using the vscode-neovim extension, along with harpoon and which-key for some quality of life improvements. It's work in progress so most keymaps may not work properly as I haven't tested them properly. I just created logical keymaps using the command id found in keyboard shortcuts but have only used what I currently need.

This setup is for those who:

• Use Neovim personally but prefer VSCode for professional collaboration.
• Want to replicate Neovim-like keybindings in VSCode without sacrificing its default behavior.
• Prefer minimal UI customization to keep VSCode familiar for teams.

Note: This is not a VSCode setup that's heavily customized to be like neovim. Honestly, I don't see a point in trying to make VSCode look and feel like Neovim. This is an attempt to create a simple productive workflow in VSCode that's similar to my Neovim setup.

Why This Setup?

I just started using Neovim (with LazyVim) mostly for personal work or projects, but VSCode is more common in workplace settings, so I still prefer using VScode for professional collaboration. The insert mode is basically just default VSCode, so anybody can use it like they usually do while I am able to have familiar neovim like environment that works just fine.

Extensions

To fully utilize this setup, install the following extensions:

• VSCode Neovim - Enables Neovim as the backend for VSCode.
• VSpaceCode - Which Key - Provides a popup displaying available keybindings.
• vscode-harpoon - A vscode extension inspired by the neovim plugin Harpoon created by The Primeagen

Note: vscode-neovim is the only essential plugin required for this setup. whichkey and harpoon are just needed for some quality of life improvements. You can setup similar keybinds without whichkey extension as well.

Installation

1. Install Neovim and ensure it is available in your system's PATH.
2. Install VSCode and the required extensions listed above.
3. Apply the settings and keybindings to your VSCode configuration.

Neovim Plugins

I use lazyvim extras vscode extension that is also recommended in the vscode-neovim official github to use neovim specific plugins that doesn't interfere with default VSCode. It's not perfect but for my use-case it works just fine. You can take a look at my neovim config as well.
