I used personal keybinds, inspired by vim in my xmonad config and weechat config. For web browsers i recommend Vimium (For Firefox and Chrome/Chromium). For zsh there is a vim plugin available. A lot terminal apps works well out of the box with hjkl, so I always give it a try.

I found this post that has some good resources. Also, they link to their fork of oh-my-zsh that makes allowances for vi-mode while still letting you do history searching and stuff. Looks pretty legit, I'll have to check it out when I get home.
This is also the setup I used. No arrow keys. After 6 years without it I used hjkl for my configs (zsh, xmonad, web browers, weechat etc...).
If you want to reduce finger travel here is another tip :
Remap jj to is the second best thing i did in my vim life.
I map CAPSLOCK to ESC. Not in Vim, but in the OS.
CAPSLOCK is a worthless key in a prime real estate location.
I do not remap CAPSLOCK only because I like to have this module active in polybar
