lite-plugins Vi keybindings

Question: (Just curious) is there anything that would preclude a plugin from providing a vi/vim keybindings? I know this may not be popular with a lot of folks, but my finger memory after 30 years of using vi is hard to erase. I really like how lightweight this is so far and I don’t want ask the question with the intent of making this a vi clone.

This would be a nice feature; I think using libvim might be the easiest way to do it. That avoids the tiresome issues fixing inconsistencies that most vim bindings have.

Yeah I vote as well for vi/vim keybindings support

There's no technical reason one couldn't implement this using the plugin system if it is something someone wanted to do, although I imagine it would be quite a sizeable undertaking.

I was not aware of this library, but agree. While I can’t commit to it yet, I will look into it.

Another option might be to use the lua client for neovim: https://github.com/neovim/lua-client

I'm not (at all) familiar with how clients for neovim work, so this suggestion might not make sense, but I wanted to throw it out there in case it might be useful.
