"Easier" is subjective and so I won't address it. As to "faster", I have ♢+{🄸,🄹,🄺,🄻} mapped to {up,left,down,right} making them much quicker to access than reaching for a dedicated cluster of arrow keys.
The ♢ key is to the immediate left of the spacebar and is quickly reachable by my left thumb. 🄹,🄺,🄻 are under the fingers of my right hand in its default home row position and 🄸 is only a very short distance away.
- pests 5y agoIs typing speed really a limiting factor for our job? I could put my toilet in my bedroom, would make waking up to piss much quicker, but each room has a purpose and a mood. The ijkl keys are for typing. The navigation cluster is for navigating. Why mix
