Description

Vim keybinds

h       left
j       down
k       up
l       right
^       beginning of line
$       end of line
ctrl+d  ½ pgdwn
ctrl+u  ½ pgup 
gg      go to top of page
G       go to bottom of page

ctrl+u/ctrl+d is default vim, but u/d would cut down on 1 keystroke, which is neat.
change behavior of shortcuts without modifiers (layer 0)
They should not listen to key-events when a text field is focused. For example, when I bind t to open the manage tags dialog, typing text into the tag field with a t in it should then not close the dialog. Users can rely on esc for the same purpose.

Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by locating Hydrus's keyboard-shortcut handling and how focused text fields receive key events. Done means Vim-style navigation and paging bindings work without interfering with text entry, while unmodified shortcut behavior follows the requested focus rules.
