I just wish hjkl scrolling worked for those of us who do not use QWERTY
- Taywee 4y agoI used hjkl scrolling for about a decade with Dvorak. In fact, I learned to use Vim for the first time on Dvorak. The muscle memory makes it work just fine, even when not all the keys are on the home row.
- yjftsjthsd-h 4y agoIt, um, can, but you have to kind of not pay attention and pretend that the letters are somehow important and ignore what your fingers are actually doing on the keyboard. At least n=1, my brain was willing to accept that j=down and k=up and not worry about the fact that they're not even next to each other. That said, if I could go back in time I would tell my younger self to either use vi/m or non-qwerty, but not both.
- BeFlatXIII 4y agoFor my n=1, the j and k were the easy ones. It is h and l (especially the L) that never got wired right. I learned Colemak about ten years ago but only got into vim in the past three years. Does anyone use vim with eMacs bindings?
- camel_Snake 4y agoI found this forced me to use vim's natural language more rather than relying on hjkl for the majority of my navigation, since it was ergonomically uncomfortable and I wanted to preserve vim's mnemonics by not rebinding.
- fragmede 4y agoI... you remap those to DHTN because they're positional and not a neumonic.
- BeFlatXIII 4y agoWouldn’t it be HNEI to be in the same position? But good catch.
