So cruising freshmeat today, I came across the world's niftiest Input Manager, http://www.corsofamily.net/jcorso/vi/. It lets you use vi command mode commands anywhere that uses Mac OS X's text input doohicky, which is pretty much everywhere. TextEdit, Safari, etc. all now have Vi key-bindings. It's not perfect, every time I've tried to edit something in this window for instance, I haven't been able to see the cursor, but it does work admirably in TextEdit and Colloquy, which is good enough for me. Hopefully it will get better.
much along the same lines is viAllOver, http://www.dabble.org/viallover/.
