Hi,
I am currently using C-p, C-n, C-f, C-b, etc. for navigating. I am
wondering if I can use vi like single-key navigation by just pressing
p, n, f, b or h, j, k, l or something similar.
I understand this is not possible because in emacs we can edit and
navigate at the same time. But there are times, when I have very
minimal editing to and more navigation or moving code around from one
section of a file to another. In such a case, I wouldn't want to
bother myself with the 'Ctrl' key.
So, in such a case I would want a mode that I can enable where
inputting text is disabled and single key navigation, single key
selection, single key copy, paste, delete, etc. are enabled. Is it
possible?

Yes, it's possible to activate vi emulations.

The best solution I've found so far is modal-mode.el:
