Add Vim Keybindings

[darylducharme]

Summary I'm a developer who uses Vim keybindings wherever I can. It just speeds up my work. It would be nice if this were possible to do in bridge.

Alternatives/Considerations This might be done best as an extension. I'm not sure if it is possible through the extension api though.

Additional context/Motivation Developers who use Vim really dislike using a regular text editor. It just feels slow.

I think this would be a good addition, however, I'm not familiar with vim keybinds. Which ones do you most commonly use?

[darylducharme]

Oh, so many. Plus, the idea is that the editor becomes modal. Because of this, it's likely more than just simply adding keybindings. VS code extension is very complete: https://github.com/VSCodeVim/Vim but I think there was something out there to add vim extensions in webapp text fields. I think it might be the vim.js project: https://github.com/coolwanglu/vim.js

Also, the neovim editor component might give easier integration (for those who choose to use it). https://github.com/rhysd/neovim-component

Found something for the Monaco editor specifically, which is what you use. https://github.com/brijeshb42/monaco-vim
