i think you cannot just enable normal mode vim, but you can tinker something with bindings, e.g. bind j and k to down and up, and unbind both when fzf start (load), then, when esc is pressed, rebind them:

fzf \
    --bind="j:down" \
    --bind="k:up" \
    --bind="i:enable-search+unbind(j)+unbind(k)+unbind(i)"
    --bind="load:unbind(j)+unbind(k)+unbind(i)" \
    --bind="esc:disable-search+rebind(j)+rebind(k)+unbind(i)" \

of course, it is possible to write a pretty little script that would build that command for you, as it is very repetitive.
