macOS has a bunch of apps which can do so, including SketchyVim. Basically you would have all the vim modes motions and operators, inside any text box in the OS / in any app. I just did some looking up and asked LLMs, but didn’t find any linux equivalents of that. Ideally they would work on wayland and have app or window class exceptions.

    If I remember correctly, Wayland forbids to listen to keyboard inputs for security reasons. Each software receives its input, but there is no global listening.

    So, in my understanding, this could mean that it’s not possible.

      For X11 it could be possible. And Implementing it into the Compositor could be possible too
