Please add a "vim mode"

Vim Mode feature

It would be a great productivity enhancement to add a "vim mode" in order to control the GUI using only the keyboard.

Preferred solution

As an example take the the extension of chrome, vimium. It allows to control the browser using vim-style commands that are visible pressing "?" when the extension is installed:

Alternatives

A good alternative is to visualize a letter above any actionable element like in the screenshot below, after a specific key as been pressed:

and then a click is performed by pressing the specific key/keys.

More keyboard control would be great.

Tho I don't think "vim mode" is good name for it.

It makes sense to use the term "vim mode" because the key mapping mode I am advocating here is one that is modeled after the vim key-mappings. For instance, using the h-j-k-l keys to navigate rather of the arrow keys, and turning on "insert mode" in order to write commit messages.
