Vim movement on other programs


I'm learning Vim and with it came the urge to use 'hjkl' and friends on every other program, including mouse operated programs like browsers.

How can I use these keyboard shortcuts, or something similar?

I'm using Linux.


Solution

  • Off the top of my head...

    • Vimperator for Firefox.
    • Awesome, WMII, Xmonad or ion3 window manager.
    • Evince supports hjkl.
    • vifm filemanager
    • there are vi keybindings for readline, which enables them for many terminal apps
    • xzgv image viewer
