Why use hjkl, which are on the same row, and not wasd (or another selection of keys)?
- skosch 11y agoBecause you want to press Caps Lock with one hand, and use the other to navigate. Also, vi.
- JoshTriplett 11y agoIf you're used to using hjkl for vi-style navigation, they're just as natural as wasd, and potentially more relaxed since they're all on the same row. And you wouldn't want to frequently use Caps Lock as a modifier with wasd, which are right next to it; Caps Lock with hjkl splits the combination across hands, which would make it more natural.
