Is there any addon that will allow me to have a vi/vim-like experience when entering text in input fields? (lemmy.ml)

I use Vimium C for navigating and it's great. However I always find myself wishing for vim movement controls, modes, and other vim features when typing text in input fields (such as the one I'm typing in right now). I looked it up and apparently Pentadactyl and Vimperator used to provide this functionality but they've been discontinued and are not available on latest Firefox.

I assume the answer is "it doesn't exist" but if it does, I would love to install it.

I second this. Has a great record and arguably the most broad number of options. Only issue is that it won't recognize/open PiP on videos, like say on Invidious instances, so use: Crtl+Shift+] or bind this to whatever else you want.

Alternatively, Vimium C is not bad.
