- jolmg 7y agoIsn't the note there to explain why i3 differs from vi? Adding the historical reason why vi used hjkl doesn't seem to justify i3 differing. It's almost irrelevant. Or do you think that not having arrows on "hjkl" is the justification of using "jkl;"? Personally, I can't see a good reason for "jkl;". The rationale that those are the keys where the fingers rest has been brought up here, but here is my response: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22349868 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22349868 The thing is that I believe the designers of ADM-3A made a good choice in putting the arrows on "hjkl" as opposed to "jkl;". It's much more ergonomic.
