I’m not shure whether vim is not capable of handling photos — I never tried this plugin: https://github.com/ashisha/image.vim
Edit: it’s 10 years old and uses python2 and PIL, so it needs a bit dusting off, but with a bit of caring love, it should be able to run again.
As long as they have a plugin for vim shortcuts. I don’t know how many :w I left strewn over my documents at work.
