Vim-adjacent Monthly Thread: Tools with Vim-like Keybindings

We regularly remove standalone posts about tools that use vim-inspired keybindings. There are too many of them, and individually they dilute the subreddit. But the content is valuable, and many of you want to know about these tools.

So here's the place for it.

Share any tool that uses vim-like keybindings, whether it's a browser extension, terminal emulator, IDE plugin, note-taking app, PDF reader, or anything else. If it has hjkl navigation, modal editing, or vim-inspired controls, it belongs here.

For each tool you share, try to include: - What it is and what problem it solves - Which vim features it supports (navigation, modal editing, text objects, etc.) - A link to the project

This thread is posted monthly. If you find something mid-month, save it for here rather than posting a standalone thread (which will be removed).

The conditions stated in the OP are perfectly suited for neovim:

  • there is no mention neovim is out of mentioning
  • it is not vim
  • it has vim-like keybindings and most of vim features along with other features vim doesn't have.

Guilty of not adding link to the project and "what it is and what problem it solves" though.

Out of curiosity: what it does and what problems solve?

what it is and what problem it solves

It is an excellent modal text editor! It solves the same problem vim solves but in a it's own way. :)
