outside vim

When you get used to the vim key bindings you might want to use it in other places.

bash

First of all you should set your default editor in your ~/.bashrc to

export EDITOR=nvim

so it can be used, everytime when the default editor is requested, like git commit -va.

For bash itself you should activate the vim-mode

set -o vi

From now on your bash typing skills will get on speed.

packages

There are some packages which are using vim key bindings

package description

browser
