WHAT IT DOES

What does it do?

VimAction is a menu bar app that intercepts keys at the system level and replays them as native editing commands in the current app. Instead of a full Vim emulator, it offers a selected set of motions and editing actions for everyday use. It supports per-app YAML settings and switching execution strategies, and requires macOS 14 or later.
