Vi keybindings

I remember Abiword used to support vi-like keybindings. Does it still work? I forgot how to enable it, I think you had to edit a config file somewhere. Having a wordprocessor that works like vi would be great, one of the reasons I almost never use LyX and prefer to edit LaTeX by hand is my "addiction" to vi keys and modes.
