Hey everyone! I recently learned how to use VIM and I’m totally hooked. It’s so awesome and efficient. Now I’m wondering if there’s any way to bring that VIM magic into Google Docs. Has anyone figured out how to use VIM commands or shortcuts while working in Google Docs? It would be amazing to have that same editing power when I’m collaborating on documents online. Any tips, tricks, or add-ons that could help? Thanks in advance for any suggestions!
sry to say, but google docs doesn’t have vim mode built-in. 
i’ve tried using some browser extensions like Vimium, but they don’t work great in docs. one thing u could do is write in a vim-friendly text editor first, then paste into gdocs. not perfect but helps me stay in vim-mode longer!
As a long-time VIM user, I can relate to your desire to bring its efficiency to Google Docs. Unfortunately, there’s no native VIM support in Google Docs. However, I’ve found a workaround that might help. There’s a browser extension called ‘Vimium’ that adds VIM-like keyboard shortcuts to Chrome. While it doesn’t replicate the full VIM experience in Google Docs, it does provide some navigation shortcuts that can speed up your workflow.
Another option I’ve used is to draft content in a VIM-friendly text editor, then copy it into Google Docs for collaboration. This allows me to leverage VIM’s power during the initial writing phase. It’s not perfect, but it’s a compromise that works for me when I need to use Google Docs for team projects.
I’ve been in your shoes, craving VIM functionality in Google Docs. Sadly, there’s no direct VIM integration. However, I’ve found a decent alternative that might interest you. Look into the ‘Docs Vim’ Chrome extension. It adds basic VIM keybindings to Google Docs, allowing for some familiar navigation and editing commands. It’s not perfect, but it’s definitely a step up from standard editing. Another approach I’ve adopted is using a VIM-enabled markdown editor for initial drafts, then transferring to Google Docs for final formatting and collaboration. This method lets me enjoy VIM’s efficiency during the bulk of my writing process. It’s a bit of extra work, but for me, the productivity gain is worth it.
