Really want a way to have vi-mode input in all text inputs throughout the OS, hopefully that is a future possibility

#32macOS 10.14 or later required. (Still on 10.11 here)
10.12 reporting in. Wondering how hard it would be to backport this... I'm not too familiar with ~macdev.

#33This is great, thank you! Although, the name seems like a bit of a misnomer since there's not much in common with vim aside from the HJKL keys. It's more like EasyMotion or avy-mode.

#34I remember when you posted this on Reddit[0] very happy you continued to work on it. At one point I might even switch to macOS :)

#37Earlier quoted context omitted.
I don't know vim. If I get used to this, will I be halfway to knowing vim?
It's very much like Vimium, which is nothing like Vim, so no. I see Vimium being referred to as "vim bindings" for chrome which I never got. Maybe someone could enlighten me on this.
well i mean vimium implements a lot of similar bindings from com.

You may know this already but emacs keys are supported in all text input areas on Mac. Carl-a (start of text), Carl-e (end of text) Carl-k (cut Text to end of line) Carl-y (yank/paste cut text) and many more.

#39I have been looking for something like this for a LONG time. Impressive! My ideal state is to be able to navigate anything and everything with VIM keybindings. Including the physical world :)
I'm sure there's a way to hack this into a Tesla

macOS 10.13 is the last macOS supported on my one and only Macbook Air 13" Mid-2011 :(
