How is it home row oriented? (Admittedly, I only used in-browser search for "home" and found nothing.)
Since moving from the home row has such a massively destructive, measured, and reproducedly measured effect on productivity and geek credibility, I've always thought that editors should accept no other keypresses than those on the home row. Every keyboard key that isn't caps lock, asdfghjkl;' or enter should be a key chord. (And not a key sequence, because that would not be productive: a real key chord.)
The next step is to release a physical keyboard that has exactly 10 keys, since moving the forefingers to press G and H, and moving the pinkies to press caps lock, apostrophe, and return is such a tremendous affront to good taste.
And editors should refuse to accept mouse input, as well. Ideally, touching the mouse would cause an electric shock, but that would require hardware modification.
