that is actually really cool - I always felt like (and surely am not the only one) that vim is great keybindings but an okay editor. If someone addresses this that'd be incredible.
I was watching thorsten and the primeagen's chat yesterday https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8XweSqTYdMQ and thorsten was describing a few challenges with translating vim's functionality into zed.
Part of it being that zed doesn't have an intermediate layer between keyboard input and keybindings, so by the time the vim layer is hit it has been translated to a keybindings - that limitation kind of put me off.
Zed is made by people who used Vim themselves.
