Most likely we will wait till the issue is sorted out in the upstream. |

Here's a summary of what I know:
VIM VSCode extension works in theia (#5125) but has damned performance (#5125 (comment), gitpod-io/gitpod#1212) due to difference in architecture (the extension sends every keystroke to the server and waits for the response (gitpod-io/gitpod#1212 (comment)) whereas native editing in theia doesn't).
I found some old issues discussing editor-level support for vim keybindings (eclipse-che/che#9244) and the approach taken would be to implement a plugin (che-theia-plugin) and add a Keyboard Shortcuts API (#2783). Unfortunately, the planned plugin is not in active development (eclipse/che-theia-vi-plugin#1 (comment)).
Is there any active effort to develop a vim keybindings plugin?
