Wish there was a better org mode plugin in vs code.

Yeah I recently had a teammate that wanted to collaborate with an org-roam I made public for my teammates.

We evaluated the org mode plugins for vscode and even the very important use case of folding/unfolding headings was pretty bad.

Went like this:

teammate: vscode org plugins can't even fold/unfold with good bindings? teammate: What shortcuts do you use for folding/unfolding" me: tab and shift-tab teammate: just give me basic emacs

So I setup a basic emacs config with context-menu-mode and recommended learning these shortcuts:

- TAB/shift-tab for folding/unfolding

- alt arrow keys for moving up/down and promoting/demoting

- ctrl+enter for making a new heading

and the guiding principle of "if you get confused go to the menu bar" or look at the ugly but helpful context-sensitive toolbar.
