Adds Vim-style navigation and editing to the ChannelTextArea, and a toggle to choose whether j/k scrolls the chat or moves the cursor.

  • Cursor movement: h, l, j, k, w, b
  • Full-text motions: gg, G, 0, $
  • Word text objects: iw, aw
  • Line actions: dd, yy, cc, o, f/F<char>
  • Edit commands: d, c, x, u
  • Clipboard: y, p, P
  • Case toggle: ~
  • Mode switches: i, Esc, v
  • Search messages: /
  • Quick switcher: go

All commands support counts (5w, 3~ etc) and work across multiple lines (uses Slate’s editor API directly)
A small status bar shows mode, count, and pending keys.

Modes:

  • NORMAL for motion + editing
  • INSERT for typing
  • VISUAL for selecting with motions

This should provide a foundation for expanding more Vim features over time
