In the non-live-preview mode, i.e. Edit/View mode, with vim key-bindings enabled. Could we have ESC switch between the modes. Like vi does, with insert mode (Edit) and navigation mode (view)
When View/Edit is enabled and vi-mode:
In View mode: ESC + i switches to Edit mode
In Edit mode : ESC switches to View mode
The VI key bindings are perfect for the preview mode, as VI has 2 modes navigate (view) and edit (edit) 
The current preview (live, legacy) mode and vi key bindings are very complex.
When using vim key-bindings, could the navigate/view mode be used for preview and edit mode to edit?
i.e.
N/A
Please don’t post the (basically) same thing twice. I’ve combined your posts.
Your original post talks about legacy mode. Your second pose title says “Live Preview”, but your post refers to Legacy editor terms. So I’m not sure exactly which modes you mean. But the idea is basically the same, right?
I also don’t quite understand this.
My interpretation is that when switching between insert mode and normal mode in Vim bindings, the request is that Obsidian automatically switch between… I guess Source Mode and Reading Mode.
Sorry ivancan, but this does seem a bit weird to me. Because Vim doesn’t have a “navigation/view” mode. In Normal mode, you are still quite capable of making (powerful) edits to the text. It’s kind of the point of Vim. And switching automatically to Reading mode would break that functionality.
There is a partially-related request to enable j and k as a scroll option in Reading Mode. And koala made a plugin to do that. Navigating in Reading Mode with Vim plugin (no accidental editing possible :) - #20 by koala
