Description

I don't like modal editing and I really like the command palette approach to discovering commands to run (ala FZF).

It would be amazing if there could be a whole bunch of keymappings that feel natural for vscode/sublime/atom users.

Research direction
Investigate Spacemacs' layer system and keybinding configuration. Look at existing editing styles like 'vim' or 'emacs' in the layers directory. Create a new layer that emulates VSCode/Sublime keybindings using the same patterns.
