I've tried my fair share of vim-adaptations to other tools, like vimium for chrome or vim keybindings in IntelliJ, and have always been left wonting.

In the case of vimium, the last time I tried it, I had to disable it on a few sites due to their homegrown keybindings for common actions (e.g., github). It seems to be a race condition for who can register to capture the keydown event first. I'm not sure it works out in my favor, as a user.

I ended up disabling it permanently since it degraded my browsing experience so much. I like it in concept, but it didn't work out so well in practice.
