Vim movement on other programs [closed]

I'm learning Vim and with it came the urge to use 'hjkl' and friends on every other program, including mouse operated programs like browsers.

How can I use these keyboard shortcuts, or something similar?

I'm using Linux.

Off the top of my head...

  • Vimperator for Firefox.
  • Awesome, WMII, Xmonad or ion3 window manager.
  • Evince supports hjkl.
  • vifm filemanager
  • there are vi keybindings for readline, which enables them for many terminal apps
  • xzgv image viewer

Gmail and several of the other Google apps natively support Vi-like motions.

Also, you might want to try Vimperator and, most definitely, Nethack!
