Vimari doesn’t (yet?) offer the vim movement commands you’d expect, but it does link hinting very well.

EVE helps you to learn shortcuts, in order to increase your productivity with Mac OS X. Every time you execute an action using the mouse, EVE will show you the matching shortcut.
At the moment, EVE only works with menu items and GUI elements in Safari, Mail, Chrome and the Finder, though support for ‘almost all apps’ is planned.
CheatSheet shows you the available shortcuts of the active application after holding the command-key for 2 seconds. Then a panel will show up displaying the shortcuts of the application you are currently working in.
I can see this being incredibly useful to folk who are new to OS X, and existing users who are learning a new, complex app.
