A such mode had been advertised. You can read on http://www.chris-granger.com/2012/04/15/light-tables-numbers... that Chris is a vim user and they'll use CodeMirror to provides such keybindings.

My main concern is that being vim'ish isn't just about the keybindings, it's way more than that. For example, commands, like :map <leader>r :!bundle exec rake spec %<cr> or in Vjj to select two lines then :'<,'>Tabularize/=>/ to align the hashrockets on two selected lines.

Same goes for splitting panes, with C-w s and so on.

I'd kill for a "modern vim" and I'm really eager to see Light Table released. As Chris is a vim user, I have good hopes for LT's usability in a vim way. If it requires some changes in my vim habits and I can still control everything without too much chordings, I'll happily deal with it :)
