It's pretty crude, but I'm basically using AHK to remap keyboard keys within XY to be used as navigation and XY hotkeys (commands, scripts, etc). When in "insert mode" I have bash-like line navigation for quickly jumping the carat around the line.
for "insert mode" (which will temporarily return the keyboard to normal until <CTRL-[> or <Esc> is pressed), etc...
Aside from vim-like navigation, I've mapped XY specific things to keys that I've found intuitive:
It's kind of a hot-mess to anyone but me, but I've been using this script since the first week I started with XY. It works great, since I'm fluent in the keys I remapped I can jump around XY much quicker than if I needed a mouse.
