VS Code's vim extension is the _first_ non-vim implementation I've used that "has the Buddha nature".

1) macros

2) ctrl-w <hjkl> "does the right thing" with visual (IDE) window-splits(!!)

I just about fell out of my chair when I stumbled upon <c-w> in a random vscode session (almost literally).

Many editors pay lip service and think "if we stop at hjkl, that's good enough!" Even fewer make it to a rational macro implementation, but vim is so much more.

The fact that vscode "does the right thing" when stabbed with <c-w> is incredible... now if only I could figure out how to get simplistic <c-p>/<c-n> to work with raw strings instead of trying to omni-complete...
