That's a nice one. One thing I do is configure my keyboard so that "modifier+{ijkl}" mimicks the inverted T arrows key cluster. So there's never a need for me to reach for the arrow keys. And {ijk} makes more sense than vi's {hjkl} and is faster/more logical/less key fingers travel. The nice thing is: as I do this at the keyboard level, this works in every single map. "modifier" in my case is "an easily reachable key in a natural hand position on which my left thumb is always resting" but YMMV. I set that up years ago and it works in every app: it's gorgeous. Heck, I'm using it while editing this very message for example. And of course it composes with SHIFT too: it's basically arrow keys, except at the fingers' natural positions.
