Vim key bindings?

There was a thread back in 2006, stating that "So all you vimmers (is that
the term?) can start planning what bindings to apply after the next
release/pre-release/patch."
http://www.freelists.org/archives/emelfm2/01-2006/msg00064.html

That ought to be now? So my questions are:

1. Has someone done the job, in the form of a plugin or something?

2. If not: how do I go about doing it? I've tried to get the basic h,j,k,l
navigation keys to work for starters (for parent,down,up,enter,
respectively), but I can't find a config option to go down/up in the list.
I'm sure it's simple...

3. I'm aware of the problem that using unmodified characters creates for
the quicksearch box. Is there a way to activate it so that I could type,
e.g., <space> and get to the box so that the vim keys would be overridden?

If this could be accomplished, I suspect that my quest for the perfect file
manager has ended -- what I've seen of emelfm2 so far looks very promising.

but that address seems to be wrong?
