vim-like text input fields possible? about vimac HOT 4 CLOSED

I have this working at the moment, but there is more work to be done on it, particularly around rich text fields!

@dexterleng I don't know if you ever want to chat in general, but I have a long term goal of making a well working, system-wide Vim mode. I am currently experimenting with Neovim's RPC to actually proxy to a real Vim instance in the background.

Actually, vi-like navigation would be useful for other UI elements, as well, not just for text fields. For example, I would love to be able to navigate the menu bar with hjkl. Or the files and folders in Finder.

@dbalatero This is really cool!

This sounds really interesting. I'd like to know more and potentially get involved.

I think this is out of the scope of what Vimac should support.
