Proper VS Code shortcuts for the above cases...

Find next: Ctrl-f, F4

Find matching brace: Ctrl-]

Navigate to Top or Bottom: Ctrl-Home Ctrl-End

I think it's the same number of keys pressed as vim in every case.

Probably, and we could go back and forth based on features. My main point was that using the keyboard is generally more efficient than using the mouse, especially since my hand is already there.

So for software you use every day, master it. Master the keyboard shortcuts, learn how to customize things, etc. Maybe VSCode has an option for macros, IDK (I've used them with the ViM mode, so that's at least one option). Using the mouse should be a fallback, not the first option.
