Yep! A number of people had asked for a vim mode over the years.
You can also use Octo's assembler from the commandline if you wish, although you will need to pair it with a separate emulator for that workflow. Tom Swan has a high-quality emulator suitable for this purpose, for example[0].
The Octo github page links[1] third-party syntax highlighting modes for a wide variety of external text editors. The Sublime mode is the most actively-maintained; if anyone likes using Vim, Emacs, Atom, or so on, you could help out by sprucing up any that are out of date.
