What does "Keybindings like Vim" mean (to you)?
However, I do look for projects that embed vim in other applications. Stuff like https://github.com/glacambre/firenvim, https://github.com/FelixKratz/SketchyVim, and the deceased https://www.onivim.io all embed real, actual (Neo)vim in text input fields and it just feels right

VI-bindings everywhere - does it exist?
if you're on macOS, there's SketchyVim

no neovim, but if you want Vim moves all around macOS
there's a free, open source project that brings a Vim backend engine to macOS: https://github.com/FelixKratz/SketchyVim currently it's using libvim but a neovim port should be possible. the issue though using a Vim backend is that it's not adapted to macOS' buffer. so it will work only 1) if the text is readable and writable 2) moves like zz, L, etc. that play with screen buffers will not work.

SketchyVim: Add native Vim to all macOS text fields
With this nifty utility https://github.com/FelixKratz/SketchyVim you can use the power of vim in Safari, in Finder search boxes and a multitude of other places in macOS. It works by using a real vim buffer in the backend and synchronizing it with the system text fields via the accessibility API. It is super light weight and all vim text features are supported. If you enjoy vim as much as I do this utility might be worth a try.

How do you get over wanting to use VIM motions throughout the OS?
That scratchpad idea with a global hotkey sounds like a solution that could work. I haven't tried it, but isn't that similar (functionality-wise) to https://github.com/FelixKratz/SketchyVim?

[META] Reddit API changes will make 3rd Party Apps unusable. This also goes against Obsidian values. Shall r/ObsidianMD join the 24h (or longer) shutdown of the subreddits on 12th June as protest?
I don't mind posting it, but be aware it's not an Obsidian script, I use from the browser, using it from an extension called SurfingKeys

Vimium – The Hacker's Browser
For the privacy-conscious interested in SK, it may be worth a read of this GH issue: https://github.com/brookhong/Surfingkeys/issues/1796
I empathise with the author wanting to make a buck but it's hard to reconcile the approach he took with the level of trust granted to this extension.

I just found out you can navigate through reddit posts using J and K
Was this issue about the bundled search hijacker resolved in some sort of positive way? I abandoned SurfingKeys as soon as I heard about that and haven't looked at it again. It'd be nice if that was all rolled back, but I switched to Vimium and haven't found it to be particularly worse, at least not for the way that I browse the web. The only thing that I've been missing is the vim-like text editor but, for me, that's a relatively minor feature; I don't write giant comments that often.

Leap.nvim for the browser
Moved from it in favor of more features that surfingkeys provide. If you know a little bit of javascript you can conquer your browser!
