hjkl is not about the 80s, it’s about efficiency. You don’t need to move your hand anywhere from the home position.

- livre 5y agoI prefer it to be intuitive rather than save half a second pressing keys (and then lose it because I forget which one goes up and which down). It would be better to have both ways for the two kinds of people. I didn't know it was for efficiency, thanks for explaining that. I have always been so inefficient with it that I thought it was just a remnant from the 80s.
- allarm 5y agoActually even in Vim you can use arrow keys for navigation in addition to hjkl, so I agree with you.
