Clear and concise description of the problem

People used to using VIM have a very hard time using anything without VIM modal editing.

Suggested solution

Adding a Vim Mode option in the settings.

Other apps, like Obsidian, use the same approach.

Alternative

No response

Additional context

It would be fantastic, if there was a way to not only add VIM keybindings, but also connect to a local neovim instance, so that we can leverage all of our VIM extensions and configs, to have a consistent experience.

I know neovim offers this kind of integration, and I believe there's a VSCode plugin that taps into it. But I've never looked into how it works.

I think regular VIM keybindings would be an amazing first step.

Please put this on the roadmap, we need vim motions at least. Connect to the local Neovim instance would be even better though.

Currently trying to do this.I'm doing with basic bindings for now but the neovim instance idea might be better.

@luisliz die you manage to get somewhere? I would love to give Anytype a try but vim support is a must-have for me.
