Actually, it's even better (or worse): you'll become increasingly annoyed using other applications, where there should be a very "native" keyboard-only command mode or at least mouse-free method to do stuff, but there isn't.

I'm looking at you GtkFileChooser (or almost any GUI file browser for that matter)

I love that Firefox desktop can start searching with a '/' keystroke! I think Chrome can do it too, but I can't recall.

Hopefully other applications will pick up more of these over time

If you didn't know it check out the Tridactyl plugin for firefox: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/tridactyl-vim...

Highly recommended.

This is so true. I shout to the heavens when having to use another editor at work and thinking "doing this in vim" would go faster.
