Agreed. Hjkl only makes sense when using a keyboard layout where these 4 keys are located in a row. This fact made most vim tutorials useless for me, as I'm using the neo2 keyboard layout, where arrow keys are located in the middle of the keyboard and hjkl are not in a row. Using vim works well for me, and I can use hjkl for other keybindings.
- opan 4y agoI posted another comment on this, but I never found this to be an issue when using dvorak or workman. Just as I slowly relearned to type the letters at all and improved over time, I kept using vim and got used to hjkl being moved over time. It doesn't bug me at all.
- manx 4y agoInteresting. I guess the difference here is that I learned vim after neo2 (https://neo-layout.org https://neo-layout.org), not before. That way I already had proper arrow keys in my home row and hjkl felt cumbersome and redundant.
