[New Feature] Add Vim motion support

[Abdulkader-Safi]

Add optional Vim key bindings to the CodeMirror editor, matching the feature set that Obsidian and Zed ship. Disabled by default, toggleable in Settings.

Motivation

NeverWrite already uses CodeMirror 6, the same editor Obsidian builds on. Many users coming from Obsidian/Zed/Vim expect modal editing for fast, keyboard-driven note editing. Today there's no way to enable it. Since Obsidian itself uses the @replit/codemirror-vim engine, we can offer a familiar, well-tested experience with minimal surface area.

I created a pull request here #149

Can't wait to try it 😍 BTW, it failed because the PR had a dependency lockfile issue.

@replit/codemirror-vim was added to apps/desktop/package.json, but apps/desktop/package-lock.json ended up out of sync. In particular, it was missing required transitive entries like @emnapi/core@1.10.0 and @emnapi/runtime@1.10.0, so npm ci failed before the app even got to build or run tests.

Regenerating the desktop lockfile from the current main should fix it :)

Why has the PR been closed?

[jsgrrchg]

I was wondering the same thing. It was closed by @Abdulkader-Safi because the checks failed, but the issue was super minor.

Please don’t do that again, @Abdulkader-Safi. If we make mistakes, we can fix them together 🙂 Please submit this again, we need this feature!!

I just reopened it, I didn’t know I could do that 😅

I’ll review it now. @spamsch, could you please give me a hand with the review? I’m not very proficient with Vim yet.
