Emacs Commands I Got by with for Years
> It keeps a history for that session, but so far I have not found a way to maintain history between sessions.
I use prescient.el [0] with prescient-persist-mode for this, though a quick look seems that SMEX also has something similar [1] but I have not used that so I can't say anything about how it works.

Evil keybinding for emacs from scratch
If it's the latter and you're looking for a way to set up vim/evil like keybindings yourself (separate links for each), Modalka, RYO-modal, and Meow (and probably a few dozen others 'cause emacs) allow you to do that.

"I'll just install EVIL"
Yes, I've briefly used modalka, which is very close to ryo-modal. I also used god-mode for a long time. There's a simple explanation for why I don't use existing packages.

Moving from evil to mostly-emacs keybindings
There are other modal systems for emacs. You even can construct your own with https://github.com/mrkkrp/modalka and https://github.com/Kungsgeten/ryo-modal. I have done that, these packages were extremely easy to use. I had a lot of fun designing the modal regime of my dreams. There are https://github.com/LouisKottmann/emacs-baboon, https://github.com/xahlee/xah-fly-keys (and its various forks) and https://github.com/clemera/objed.
What are some alternatives?
xah-fly-keys - the most efficient keybinding for emacs
ryo-modal - Roll your own modal mode
meow - Yet another modal editing on Emacs / 猫态编辑
boon - Ergonomic Command Mode for Emacs
emacs-baboon - My new Emacs config with use-package
emacs-config - My personal Emacs configuration
objed - Navigate and edit text objects with Emacs. Development on pause.
god-mode - Minor mode for God-like command entering
spacemacs - A community-driven Emacs distribution - The best editor is neither Emacs nor Vim, it's Emacs *and* Vim!
hydra - make Emacs bindings that stick around
cmagn-emacs - A place to put and share my various emacs configs and experiments.
general.el - More convenient key definitions in emacs
