I am a vscodium user who has begun to get increasingly frustrated over lack of commands to do some simple things.
So, as a longtime GNU/Linux user, who only knew basic commands to survive in vim, I decided to change my habits.
installed flavours of neovim(lunarvim, nvchad, and astronvim, in that order) and started tinerking. then switched to kick start.nvim.
on Android, I'm using plain neovim since there seems to be some missing lib for mason, the neovim package manager.
passing away of Bram Moolenaar has made me accelerate faster towards the day where my machine would be clean of any electron bloat.

I'm still very much a novice, and continue using codium in office, but I am committed to using neovim as I believe it's truly a great editor(second to Emacs, of course).

Now that you know about ci(, I highly recommend taking a look at tpope's plugins. Especially the surround plugin. It can change the surrounding parentheses and tags (if you're editing an HTML or XML document). Quite cool. Also, there's much more in tpope's library of pugins.

PS, did you know that zsh has a vi mode, where you can use typical vi commands to edit the command prompt instead after the default ones? Quite useful as well.

set -o vi / emacs works in bash too

whoa, that guy is really a vim plugin artist. imma go and install it now. thanks for sharing!

I don't have much experience with zsh other than using it on office mac. but will try it anyway.

If you're going to check out zsh, make sure to take a look at oh my zsh! There's a lot to explore there, but the plugins are cool.
