- JasonSage 10y agoIn vim, I write a file out using ':w' On my Dvorak keyboard, ':w' ends up being 'z,' are if you were looking at a QWERTY keyboard. I can choose to learn ':w' and re-learn my muscle memory for writing a file. OR If I want to use my existing muscle memory, I can find ':w' on my QWERTY keyboard and see that's 's,' on my Dvorak keyboard, and I can remap the command accordingly. So the question is, do I memorize ':w' and re-learn those locations or do I keep my muscle memory and gradually adjust to hitting 's,' on my Dvorak keyboard, as if I was typing on a QWERTY. You can find files that folks have kindly contributed that will do a full remapping of vim keybinds to Dvorak. This is what I mean by 'locations' (QWERTY ':w' -> Dvorak 's,') which keep muscle memory intact or 'letters' (Letters ':w') The letters argument is that when you want to learn a new command, you can use your Dvorak knowledge to type the letter you're thinking of. The locations argument is that if you're fluent with vim and use QWERTY, you can continue to do use it that way by remapping keybinds.
