Is there an existing issue for this?

I have searched the existing issues

Summary

It would be great to have optional Vim keybindings in the input fields of Hoppscotch, similar to what tools like Insomnia offer.

Thanks for the amazing work on Hoppscotch.

Why should this be worked on?

Why it's useful:

Improves efficiency for Vim users
Enhances accessibility for those who rely on keyboard navigation
Adds a productivity boost when editing large or complex payloads

Suggested Scope:

Enable Vim mode in editable text areas and input fields like request bodies, headers, tests and URL fields.
Optional toggle in settings for users who prefer classic editing
