This is really cool!
Feature request: can you add WASD navigation? Arrow keys are weird on different keyboards. On mine they're squashed into the corner and not fun to use. WASD is the OG OP way to navigate. (WASDQE, where QE are the vertical plane, if you're into Unreal Engine key bindings.)
I don't know if I'd say it's the OG way. Both HJKL and numpad predate WASD, I think.
Are you comparing game bindings to vim bindings? Isn't that an apples/oranges thing?

Considering we're not discussing a game, it seems like a perfectly valid comparison.

Not if you play roguelikes.
I remember lots of old bbc games using zx;/ by default. in retrospect it was interesting how they defaulted to one hand for left/right and the other for up/down
Decades later I still have better muscle memory for the Beeb's typical ZX*? ( and ELITE's SX<> ) than I do for WASD or arrow keys.
Apple 2 was often az/,. .
