You can install IdeaVim in PyCharm. I've been using IdeaVim with IntelliJ for 6 years and could never go back to non-vim style editing. This plugin provides the best of both worlds.

Not to be unkind but have you tried actual Vim or adding any functionality to an ide?

Yes I have used plain Vim as a text editor for many years. It's a great text editor. I know it was also used for writing code back in the old days. For working on large modern JVM codebases, however, Vim is a toy in comparison to IDEA. Vim is for manipulating syntax. IDEA has advanced semantic features that will remain far outside of Vim's domain.

Not OP but I’ve been using ideaVim for many years now and I can say that it’s quite good. It even uses my main .vimrc file and handles most of the things very well.
