Add vim_mode in the editor #19

The problem

I'm used to the vim mappings in all editors I use, it makes me use the mouse less and improves my effiency. Although I understand this is not the most important feature to have I feel like it's a nice to have.

Proposed solution

How you imagine it working. Optional.

Alternatives considered

I don't mind using the software as is right now, it would just be a thing that would make me consider Inkyscape as a better solution for my note-taking.
I can also just open the typst file I want to work on in another editor and use the vim key bindings there...

Could Typst do this?

It's not related to Typst directly...

Additional context

By quickly looking if there is something that exists for CodeMirror, I found out that there is a codemirror-vim extension. So the main point of development (if the extension works) would be to add a setting to enable it or not and enable the plugin depending on that.

I can try to tackle this if you'd like.

Cool, if you'd like to explore that more, please be my guest! I'll be offline a lot for the next little while, if you happen to come up with anything and I don't respond before then, it's not forgotten -- will be returning to things in August.
