IdeaVim

IdeaVim is an open-source plugin that brings the power and modal editing experience of the Vim text editor into JetBrains IDEs such as IntelliJ, PyCharm, CLion, WebStorm, and others, letting developers work with familiar Vim commands while still benefiting from full IDE features and tooling. It integrates deeply with the JetBrains platform to support Vim’s normal, insert, visual, and command-line modes, along with motions, search and replace, marks, registers, and many Ex commands, giving Vim users a highly productive editing experience inside modern IDE environments. IdeaVim can execute IDE actions directly from Vim keybindings or mappings, letting you bridge the gap between traditional Vim workflows and rich IDE functionality like refactoring, navigation, inspections, and code generation through customizable key mappings. Users can define their own .ideavimrc configuration file to tailor command behavior, source standard Vim configurations, and even hook actions from plugins.
