The single thing you need to do to learn vim is to download the ViEmu cheatsheet[0], print it out , and stick it on the wall where you can see it. Printing it out is mandatory - you need to be able to see it without switching windows. Put

Not as fast as a compiled language, because JavaScript is too dynamic to apply the same kind of aggressive JITing that things like the JVM or CLR can. It is, however, "fast enough"(tm).

How do W^X restrictions affect something like this? I assume there must be a way to work around it given the prolificacy of JITing VMs, but interested in the details. The last time I was fiddling with machine code in memory was before W^X

Caps lock seems like an obvious one, no? It's on the home row and I've never used it in my entire typing life (apart from to turn it off if I turn it on by accident).
