VCS without the mouse?
Answered
I am a vim user and I really want to switch to Intellij as it offers a lot of useful features that I currently do not have in vim.
I was watching https://youtu.be/eq3KiAH4IBI?t=565 and he said that you don't have to use the mouse at all. My favorite vim plugin is probably https://github.com/tpope/vim-fugitive which allows me to do 99% of all git operations directly inside vim with convenient keybindings. For example space+gs will open the status, it will show me unstaged changes. I can hit ctrl+n to iterate over them and with "-" I can add the changes. With space + gc I can commit and push them with space + gp.
Is a similar workflow possible in intellij?

VCS integration in IDEA does not directly mimic the git command line like the mentioned plugin does.
Git status is shown in a separate tool window, there is no need to manually add files to index before committing, etc.
But all major operations are accessible through shortcuts (some are default, other configurable)
