IntelliJ is the best IDE around

Dmitry Kandalov · Answer

why do you hate it

wineluis · Answer

its overweight and the vim plugin sucks

Dmitry Kandalov · Answer

no idea about vim plugin because I don t use it but by overweight I guess you mean it s slow

janvladimirmostert · Answer

Compared to Netbeans which doesn t have a Vim plugin last time I checked and Eclipse which has a buggy one IntelliJ s one is pretty close to running Vim straight in the command line

wineluis · Answer

intellij fucks it up if you use mouse to copy

janvladimirmostert · Answer

use `v` for visual mode `y` for copy and `p` for paste You re also supposed to be in insertion mode before you paste regular VIM does the same

wineluis · Answer

in vscode you can use the mouse to copy paste properly and use y and p

janvladimirmostert · Answer
