Wow, I didn't think I'll read something like this before years. It's a bit sad to be honest. I'll give the same advice I give to my students: force yourself to code using only Nano as your editor. It has plenty of editing features (line numbering, syntax highlighting, auto-indent, multiple buffer, keyboard macros, etc.) and those should be more than enough if you do known how to program. You're of course allowed a browser for the documentations and a shell to interact with other tools: interpreters, compilers, git, etc.

Just like it's good to be able go somewhere by actually reading a map and following street indications if you don't have access to digital map app and/or a GPS, it's good to be able to code without depending on tools that actually do the work for you. It's true for an IDE if you don't know how to navigate source code or how to build your project without it. It's even more true for stuff like copilot which actually write code for you…
