Totally unrelated, but I have a dvorak keyboard layout, and navigation using HJKL is one of the things I hate most about vi. Sure, I could rebind it locally, but that doesn't help me when I use a remote machine. Perhaps this is what being left handed feels like.
- emilecantin 6y agoI'm a heavy VIM user, and I pretty much only use J and K, almost never H and L. Pretty much everything else is more efficient anyway (w and b to jump to word boundaries, f / t to go to a specific character on a line, etc.) so by the time I'm resorting to that kind of navigation, I often use the arrows (or even the mouse!).
