Feature Request: Vim Mode

[cesardeazevedo]

Nature of issue?

• New feature request

New feature details:

This feature request together with a working implementation proposes a new user preference to enable Vim Mode on p5 Codemirror editor.

I did some search about any discussion related to Vim on p5 web editor, but I couldn't find any, so I ended up with a working implementation which wasn't that difficult as I thought, since Codemirror already supports Vim Keymap, I just had to change the Keymap from codemirror/keymap/sublime to codemirror/keymap/vim and add a preference option to the UI.

One small concern is the slightly increase on the bundle size, since codemirror/keymap/vim is about 220 KB, (although I ended up with 4.2MB on my app.[hash].js on my local build and 4.1MB without keymap/vim, but on the live p5 editor is just 1.1MB, I am a bit confused 🧐).

Another concern to keep in mind is with underlying issues with Codemirror Vim Keymap implementation itself, which apparently does not have an active maintainer, although I didn't had any problems.

I am not sure if this is a such demanded feature, but would love to hear some feedback.
