Sooner or later someone is going to tell you to put this in your .vimrc: inoremap <Up> <NOP> inoremap <Down> <NOP> inoremap <Left> <NOP> inoremap <Right> <NOP> noremap <Up> <NOP> noremap <Down> <NOP> noremap <Left> <NOP> noremap <Right> <NOP> This will get you to stop using the arrow keys for moving around, use either hjkl, or faster combinations such as "f" "t".
