1 year ago Sorry for taking so long to respond to this. I think I just lost track of it when you originally posted it!
I think this would be an interesting feature, but as-is, it might be a fairly big change?
Before adding Vim mode key bindings, I think it might be a good idea to first implement https://github.com/cdepillabout/termonad/issues/83 and possibly https://github.com/cdepillabout/termonad/issues/215. With those in place, I think it would be a good goal to get Termonad to the place where it is flexible enough for end-users to be able to implement Vim mode key-bindings on their own through the hooks system, without it needing to be implemented directly in the Termonad code-base.
Once there is an implementation of the Vim mode key bindings through the hooks system, we could evaluate how intrusive of a change it is and how popular it is (how many people use it), and consider whether to just build it into Termonad itself.

For example, here is how the requested feature is described in Alacritty: https://github.com/alacritty/alacritty/blob/master/docs/features.md#vi-mode.
I would like to propose that the same will be availible in Termonad too.
Thanks.
