What Hacker News says

6 sources
This catches my eye every time, but for day-to-day work I always fall back to Google sheets. In light of that, this browser extension I found recently has been an absolute game changer: https://github.com/philc/sheetkeys Because really, do you want all of vim in sheets, or just navigation (`i/h/j/k/gg/G/^u/^d`) and selection (`v/V`)? It has some other basic stuff, like `dd` and `o/O`, but otherwise conflicts with browser and Google functionality keep me away.
