Linux equivalents of SketchyVim, for vim modal editing in any text box? (lemmy.world)

macOS has a bunch of apps which can do so, including SketchyVim. Basically you would have all the vim modes motions and operators, inside any text box in the OS / in any app. I just did some looking up and asked LLMs, but didn't find any linux equivalents of that. Ideally they would work on wayland and have app or window class exceptions.

The closest thing I know (but it only works in the browser) is the Firenvim extension
