I agree, mostly.

An example of "close enough" for me is the IdeaVim plugin[1] for JetBrains IDEs. It supports all the features I need to be quite productive, including registers. The killer feature is that it reads in an `~/.ideavimrc` file, in which I can just `source ~/.vimrc`.

I wish more apps had that level of Vim support. Loading a `vimrc` file like that would be a killer feature for a notetaking app.

I also love JetBrains' vim implementation.

Have you found a way to perform a text reflow (`gq`) in JetBrains? I don't know if I've just overlooked a config somewhere, or if it's just not part of the standard JetBrains support and I need some kind of plugin.


I know what you mean, that's the one feature I'm wanting for, as well. It's not supported yet, according to the YouTrack issues[1][2][3].

If you get a chance, upvote those issues and/or make your voice heard in the comments!

Even if it couldn't handle every single thing I can express in a .vimrc, if it were clearly documented what subset worked, that'd be rad.
