This should get you comfortable with using the h,j,k,l mapping then. I actually turn arrow keys off in my vimrc, I can definitively say it is one of the things that has made me faster.
- cyphax 13y agoGood point about using this to get me comfortable with the keymapping. I dunno if I'll get too depressed from dying over and over before I get the hang of it though! ;)
- aith 13y agoGetting frustrated and depressed with keymapping? Sounds just like my experience using real vim ;)
- oftenwrong 13y agoDo not turn them off; remap them! That is valuable keyboard real estate. I use them for buffer switching, since I do that frequently. Left and right change to the next and previous buffers, respectively. Down to quickly swap to the previously focused buffer. Up to bring up a buffer switch menu. Here are the .vimrc lines: " Arrow keys for buffer switching nnoremap <left> :bprev<cr> nnoremap <right> :bnext<cr> nnoremap <down> :buffer #<cr> nnoremap <up> :buffers<cr>:buffer<space>
