How to enable vim mode in RStudio

rstudio

Has anyone been able to enable or use vim mode in RStudio? I'm using a new version of RStudio, (3.3.2 (2016-10-31)). The only instructions are from three or four years ago, and the screenshot of the GUI is different than what I use. (tools->global options->code->editing). There's no checkbox to enable it. I am very hopeful that it still exists

What is command mode in vim?

Command mode This mode allows you to use Vim commands and move through your document. From command mode, you can also use last-line commands, which generally start with the use of a colon. For example, :w saves your file and :q allows you to exit Vim.

The option is under options->code->editing->keybindings, from the dropdown select Vim.
