      To get to the point where I could feel like not an idiot maybe 3 hours of actual programming time.

      To get to the point where I was a slow yet productive programmer it took maybe 12 hours of actual programming time.

      To get faster than I was at Jetbrains IDEs that took like maybe ~24 hours of actual programming time.

      I strongly recommend:

      1. remapping caps lock to escape.
      2. disabling the arrow keys in all modes.

      After I did these two things, I got better faster. It’s frustrating but totally worth it. Now when I’m on my laptop I just use helix and qutebrowser under the sway desktop environment. It’s a 100% mouse free experience and it’s just faster and better in every way.

      In what way is it less effort than vim? I’ve tried helix a little bit and it didn’t seem that different.

        I’m hoping it’ll be less effort setting it up than vim/neovim. Both need a bunch of plugins to be worth using. I got some preconfigured neovim config (doomvim or something) and while it’s better, a bunch of stuff just doesn’t work.
