I have absolutely no dog in this fight other than to express how weird it feels culturally. OS X came with emacs key bindings built in system-wide for anything using the native UI frameworks from at least 10.0, I assume back into NeXT roots. Seeing a dedicated vim mode in Apple’s developer tools 20 years later is quite a thing.

Addendum: I have only one dog in this fight, which is that I know I can ^T to transpose with emacs bindings almost anywhere on a Mac and, having never learned either emacs or vim that command has been welcome a lot.

It's funny to see this get added now given that vim is maybe 2MB and Xcode 13 beta is ..... over 90GB.

some keybindings in json isn't really comparable to a virtualize operating system and several mobile SDKs

90? Mine comes in at 33. Not sure what disk size has to do with anything anyway?
