I'm astonished that nobody has ever told me about this before.

I mean, it is right there in the welcome screen - where I, myself, foolishly ignored it for six years.

So now I also try to tell people about it. Haha.

It really is great.

Does anyone know of a package directory for these types of things? Something like octopi for apt.

While true, as an old Vim user, I'm recommending finding some other modal-editor: too much cruft in Vim.

I hear Helix is modal.

( modal-editors help bash one against one's unconscious-mind's woodenness: forcing switching-of-levels, & if you read "The Design of Everyday Things", which Adam Savage also recommends people read, as he found it life-changing, then you'll read that NOT-switching-levels is a racial mental-defect: we just enforce-harder, instead of switching-levels, & break opportunity we're in!

So, modal-editing helps break that ignorance, giving us better ability to get out from the wrong-level into the right-for-the-context level, & therefore I absolutely recommend modal editors, for nearly-all.

However, vi & vim .. a bit too much cruft, in the crystallization.

Clean-slate optimization of what commands are in, what key-codes are for what, etc, ought produce a better tool. )
