Key remapping to vim navigation and more
I use keyd (https://github.com/rvaiya/keyd) and what I've done is remapped CapsLock down holding to a modifier key that allows me to use vim navigation and more. So when I press CapsLock down I can use jkl; for navigation. I've also added u and i as page up and down. For browser back and forward use n and m. Just pressing CapsLock acts as an esc press.

Debugging touchpad issues with keyd remapper

Toward a More Useful Keyboard
On Linux, I use keyd[1] and while I understand that keyd itelf could never run on the Mac, I'd love something that could take my keyd conf and make it work (even approximately) on the Mac.

Switching from macOS to Pop _OS
I haven't tried but it seems like you could use a keybinding daemon to effectively remap any application by changing layer in response to window focus changes.
See Ktrl + alt or Kmonad
