Feature suggestion: vim keybindings #95

Open npit opened 6 years ago

npit commented 6 years ago

Of course, in insert mode vim-like typing depends on inputrc, but in cursor mode it does not. I looked around in resources/app/extraterm/resources/keybindings but I see no way to change keybindings for basic motion.

Extraterm makes great use of CodeMirror, and probably in the near future Ace, for displaying text and cursor. It does actually have some support for vim keybindings, so this request isn't out of the question. The whole mode aspect of vim makes it harder than normal keybindings though. Also, I would expect that the keybindings also apply to things like the command palette. This also complicates things.
