It turns out he is a vimmer. I fully support his argument. BTW there is even a snippet/plugin that turns VIM into a typewriter by disabling any movement keys.

- Jach 17y agoThat explains why he said "You keep the fingers of your left hand on the ASDF keys and the fingers of your right hand on the HJKL keys." I haven't met any touch typists who didn't know the right hand is supposed to rest on the jkl; keys.
- tommorris 17y agoYes, my mistake. When in doubt, do what is correct rather than what I say. My typewriter homekey bindings have been wrecked by Vim use.
- Jach 17y agoI found it an amusing mistake, and I too love vim and I wish the hjkl standard was everywhere.

- ComputerGuru 17y agoOh god... No, it's Dvorak... but I don't know my left hand from my right. Actually, it's a common joke around these parts that people originally from Jerusalem can't tell the difference between right & left. Taxis there are known for turning the opposite direction of what you ask for given just how bad it is.
