    KindaVim is definitely more specific. Smaller niche. And it's a lifetime project. To get Vim moves accurate under macOS, including the Visual moves, I can't use a Vim backend. So basically the moves (there's a billion to do...) are handcrafted one by one, using macOS APIs (also, there's cases where text is readable/writable, cases were not. So actually it's several Vim engines. anyways). You can have a look at what it does here: https://kindavim.app.

  3. Karabiner, previously called KeyRemap4MacBook, is a very powerful keyboard remapper for Mac OS X.
    There's some free solutions out there like Karabiner-Elements(https://karabiner-elements.pqrs.org) (but doesn't manipulate/calculate text, just key mapping) and VimMode.spoon (https://github.com/dbalatero/VimMode.spoon). If you don't wanna bother with setting those up there's also one-time payment stuff, that are basically wrappers around Karabiner Elements.
