Onivim 2 is a native, lightweight modal code editor built in Reason/OCaml that combines Vim-style modal editing with VSCode's extension host and language integration. It aims for Sublime-like speed with a fast native front-end and cross-platform support.

Use cases

  • modal vim-style code editing with a modern UI
  • use VSCode extensions in a lightweight native editor
  • fast low-latency code editor for Windows, macOS, and Linux
  • vim editing with language server support out of the box
  • native alternative to Electron-based editors

When to choose

  • you want authentic modal editing plus VSCode extension compatibility
  • you need a fast native editor with minimal input latency
  • you want a batteries-included cross-platform editor

When to avoid

  • you need 100% VimL plugin compatibility
  • you need a fully stable production editor - it is alpha software with limited recent activity
  • you prefer a mature editor like Neovim or VSCode with large ecosystems
