Have you considered the possibility that having nav keys in the home row is a significant advantage over moving the (usually) right hand off the home row entirely to screw around with arrow keys, then back into the homerow to continue working?
I'm surprised you didn't mention it.
(nice rant though!)
- martinced 14y agoI'm sure that, just like me, he did consider that possibility. And he did realize that it's easier, from the home position of a touch-typist, to hit 'i' than it is to stretch your index finger and hit 'h'. Just ing try it and you'll see. In addition to that, it's also more logical to have the inverted 'T' arrow. Have you considered the possibility that you find what you're using a "significant advantage" simply because it is the same as what an old arcane keyboard did use back in the days?
