[TxMt] What's the status of applying VI keyboard mappings to TextMate?

[Scott Smith]

I'm newly coming back to the Mac after a long hiatus (late 1980's as a
developer); been Windows in the interim.
I still have to work periodically in Windows boxes and am somewhat forlorn
at the layout of the navigation keys on the Mac (as in most laptops).  This
is where VI shines; the navigation can be accomplished in the "center" of
the keyboard where key layouts are consistent.  David Wooten maps a single
key (http://lists.macromates.com/textmate/2006-January/007683.html) and Kirk
Fitzpatrick was attempting a plugin (
http://lists.macromates.com/textmate-plugins/2007-January/000022.html).

Anyone figure out anything like what VI has or have any ideas?  I'm
considering building something that intercepts keystrokes right out of the
operating system so that TextMate has to know very little.

Thanks in advance,
