Vim bindings
See original GitHub issueDescribe your feature request
It would be lovely to have sane subset of vim bindings (navigation, and a few of the motions) available in MarkText.
What problem does this feature solve? [optional]
Editing text in a way that I am used to. It makes the transition from vim to MarkText for writing much smoother.
Additional context [optional]
I understand this opens the door for Emacs and other bindings.

Yes, that is my plan. I am starting with just a small feature set to get going. Although it is going to take me some time as I am now trying to read through the code and learn how it works first.
Just to chime in an fxha’s comment;
As a self-confessed vim-lover, I’d be absolutely thrilled to see even a very basic support for modal editing added to marktext. Having a full feature set would be amazing, but even just having the ability to switch between normal/insert/[visual] modes, and some basic motions, would be a game changer for me. I know I can’t speak for everyone else, but i’m sorry to say it’s the only thing holding me back from doing all my markdown writing using marktext. I would love to make that switch, though.
