    I know exactly how you feel. I did eventually end up finding an open source solution that worked for me though. After trying a few things I ended up on the helix text editor + the Rust LSP.

    It took me a while to get to the point where I could code as fast as I could in Jetbrains IDEs but I got there and am now even faster than I used to be.

    It was hard but very worth it.

        To get to the point where I could feel like not an idiot maybe 3 hours of actual programming time.

        To get to the point where I was a slow yet productive programmer it took maybe 12 hours of actual programming time.

        To get faster than I was at Jetbrains IDEs that took like maybe ~24 hours of actual programming time.

        I strongly recommend:

        1. remapping caps lock to escape.
        2. disabling the arrow keys in all modes.

        After I did these two things, I got better faster. It’s frustrating but totally worth it. Now when I’m on my laptop I just use helix and qutebrowser under the sway desktop environment. It’s a 100% mouse free experience and it’s just faster and better in every way.
