The two reasons I still use arrow keys in vim:
1. I've been using the Colemak layout longer than vim, so hjkl is no longer the right-hand home row like it is under QWERTY.
2. My main keyboard at the moment is a Poker ][ and the arrow keys are fn+WASD (or WARS if you're being pedantic about the Colemak layout rather than the printed label on the caps)
- dokem 5y agoI now have arrow keys enabled because there is some menu where I need them sometimes. But disabling them helped me a lot initially. I think it will just take longer to pick it up if you can fall back to arrow keys when you get frustrated. I can only speak for standard QWERTY keyboards but some people default to using the arrow keys in vim and I see that as a huge fuckup that needs to be avoided from the get-go.
