@Kaniz Fatma​ Is that tool (dbvim) still maintained? It looks like it has been abandoned and there are a couple of unresolved issues.

Are there any plans to support vim keybindings in Databricks? This is possible in many other web-based editors such as AWS Cloud9, Google Colab, etc.

I spent a bit of time updating dbvim locally so it would work and sadly it is not that useful. There is a lot beyond the open issues that would need to be resolved. Also it does not work with the new Databricks editor.

Vim keybindings would be really useful!! Right now I find it pain full to develop anything in Databricks. Any updates on plans would be much appreciated @Kaniz Fatma​.
