Pretty novice Vim user here. I FOR SURE think about it, and it costs me quite a bit of brain power to navigate. I made my own way pf remembering:
H = the leftmost key, so left
L = the rightmost key, so right
J = jeet (yeet), so down
K = klimb (climb), so up

- fuzztester 3y agoHa ha, good one. Does the analogy hold for ^M which is carriage return? Anyway, I remember that stuff. Had a lot of "fun" on Unixes back in the day using things like ^J, ^M, ^H, stty sane, stty -a, stty icrnl, stty onlcr (or is it the other way around), fiddling with termcap and terminfo, and much more ...
