I use helix editor in the terminal (Technically not an IDE but neither is VSCode). Works great for a keyboard and terminal-centric workflow. I had to configure it a bit to get it where I want but after that I had a blast to write Rust projects in.
It does get a lot of getting used to if you're not used to vim-like keybinds, and does take memorizing shortcuts
Helix is awesome. I've spent many hours these passed months configuring both Sway and Helix to my liking, and it has become joyous to use them together. I prefer Helix's default configs to vim's. Still got to use Vim motions a lot though, in Obsidian etc. Similar in many aspects, but there are many small things Helix does which I find more logical. u for undo and U for redo. Small things.
