Honestly, that part about muscle memory taking over is so true. I read an article once that said our brains hardwire shortcuts after like, a few weeks of daily use. Tbh, it made me stick with learning vim commands even when I wanted to quit. Ngl, the cheat sheet phase is brutal, but pushing through it changes everything. I heard from a friend that once you stop thinking about the keys, you just flow through tasks. It's like your hands know what to do before your brain even processes it.
