Vim plugin is slow #308
Description
So, i've been using the vim extension downloaded through the main VScode marketplace (due to proxy issues with the code-server API), but the vim plugin is really slow and a pain to use.
Does everyone else have this problem, or is this due to the vim package in the coder API being slightly different then the marketplace one?

It currently runs on the server. We'll be fixing this by allowing certain exts to run on the client. You can expect this soon.

Okay, no worries. Thanks!

I'm running a setup with over 100 packages. All other ones seem to work flawlessly. Only the vim package is keeping my setup from running on coder. It'd be amazing to see it working at a usable pace

The VSCodeVim plugin is rather slow because it listens to all keys and it runs on the server.
Until client-side extensions are ready, https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=jpotterm.simple-vim is a much faster option with some caveats (read the extension's description for a list).

Finally got around to implementing client-side extensions in latest master. 🎉 I'm very interested in hearing any bug reports around that. Currently only
vscodevim.vimis white-listed to run in the browser.jasonharrison commentedon Oct 23, 2019
@code-asher I'm so excited to hear this, can't wait to try it out. Thanks!
