Don't do it! Once your fingers learn and start to prefer hjkl you'll waste a lot of time and effort in other programs trying to use them.

Really, more things just need vi-like interfaces :(

Name something you use that you think doesn't have a vi-like interface.

To be fair, most vi-like interfaces suck or worse, they are clunky, incomplete or have odd bugs when interfacing with the rest of the program.

I would give all my money for a shell with a mode indicator be it cursor or modeline.
