Vim Mode for macOS. The mode you love in your favorite editor, now in your favorite OS.

I want to use something like this, but I don’t like that it is automatically enabled in every text view. Also, a subscription for this?

I remember the QuickCursor app from Hog Bay Software, which lets you select any text by pressing a keyboard shortcut, which would open the text in your favorite editor. Saving the file in the editor would update the text view. Sadly, it is not developed anymore.

These days, I select the text in the text view and use the “New MacVim Buffer With Selection” service. This opens the selected text in MacVim, although I have to paste the text manually back.
