make your vim editing faster!

i use vim every day and the best productivity improvement that happened to me lately is that i found this keyboard setting in macos, highly recommend everyone who likes to work with code quickly, set these sliders to the maximum!

This has little to do with Vim and more to do with how fast the OS registers key repeats.

I would not recommend that you navigate around vim by holding h, j , k, or l. These are mostly good for moving small/short distances, like a few characters or lines.

There are more efficient and productive ways to move large distances, like w / W / e / E / b / B to move by words or { / } to move by paragraphs or ]m / [m to move by methods, and many others.

I recommend reading :help motion.txt to learn more about vim motions.

Alternatively, vim already has the power to move fast. Check out all the other movement keys. barbarianmeetscoding.com/boost-you...

Wouldn't this only affect you holding keys down?
