Some small part of me wants to use vim-clutch and make a manual transmission version of this.

[Chilinot → r-s]

I like the idea of pressing the clutch pedal to go to insert mode, and releasing it to go back to normal mode.

[macintux → Chilinot]

As I recall, early mouse prototypes involved foot pedals, but businessmen didn’t want to look like they were using a sewing machine.

[renewiltord → Chilinot]

That’s the usual vim clutch. I used to use it that way but the pedal I used did not offer enough resistance and so my foot would tire.

[dotancohen → renewiltord]

If your foot would tire, that's a sign that you were running _in front of_ the car. When you run behind the car, your foot will be exhausted.

[renewiltord → dotancohen]

In my case, since the foot was too tired, it must have been a bicycle or motorcycle.

[dotancohen → renewiltord]

That's terrific, thank you! The kids are going to hear this!

Exactly, a keyboard should replace that clumsy driving wheel that protrudes. It would be MUCH easier to pilot if every car function had a vim shortcut.

The safety angle is key. I’ve never had vim crash on me.

[IgorPartola → koolba]

But if you do crash, next time you get into the car it’ll ask you if you want to restore from backup or delete the car.

[koolba → IgorPartola]

I do wonder how it will fit car~ in my current directory^Wgarage.

Ooo use it for the mode!
