This isn’t the best workaround, but as someone with a large vimrc that I have come to depend on, I just always use the external editor. I can easily go side by side with joplin and vim and it will still live update. It isn’t the best solution, but afaik it is the only workaround for now.
I doubt vimrc support will be added to joplin, as I have heard it said before that the developers are not concerned with making joplin a robust text editor, and that is why the external editor support is so good.
Yeah, I use that. too. Just today I commented on another thread, that under these circumstances (having ones own full blown vim as external editor, and the internal one lacking all the features) I can’t see why there is an internal vim editor at all.
