Vim mode + user-customizable keybindings

[ipapakonstantinou]

New community gap (3rd scan). Source: community research + code check (verified absent: CodeMirrorEditor.tsx wires fixed keymaps, no Vim extension, no user-rebind layer in shortcuts.ts).

What users want: editor Vim keybindings, and the ability to remap shortcuts.

Evidence:

• "users on non-QWERTY layouts (Colemak) who rely on remapping keys when using Vim bindings... requesting the ability to remap keys in an easy file like vscode-vim's settings.json" https://forum.obsidian.md/t/support-for-key-remapping-in-vim-mode/1017
• Vimrc Support plugin: "load and persist Vim keybindings across sessions" https://github.com/esm7/obsidian-vimrc-support

Demand: Moderate but sticky/vocal — Obsidian ships Vim mode natively; #vim is a 10+ plugin category.

noteser fit: High (Vim) / Med (full keymap UI) — noteser is on CodeMirror 6, so @replit/codemirror-vim is a near-drop-in behind a setting. Fully user-editable keybindings are more work (conflict resolution with existing high-precedence keymaps).

How: gate @replit/codemirror-vim behind a settings toggle, injected into the editor's extension list; expose a small rebind table later.

Evidence strength: secondary.
