How to enable vim mode in RStudio

Question

Has anyone been able to enable or use vim mode in RStudio? I'm using a new version of RStudio, (3.3.2 (2016-10-31)). The only instructions are from three or four years ago, and the screenshot of the GUI is different than what I use. (tools->global options->code->editing). There's no checkbox to enable it. I am very hopeful that it still exists

Here is what RStudio support team says:

Switching to Vim Editing Mode

The option is under options->code->editing->keybindings, from the dropdown select Vim.

The option has changed to tools -> global options -> code -> keybindings

It seems that I cannot map the shortcut jj/jk to <esc> permanently, then I thought the vim mode loses its convenience.
