I'm trying vim after years of struggling with emacs and the awful layout of standard keyboards. Back in the 80's I was lightning fast with emacs. But then the PC came around, and I've been tying my fingers in knots ever since.
So: the first thing I notice about vim is that my right hand is not in home position in control mode. I have to move my hand over one key to get to hjkl. So now when I try to hit "i", my middle finger instinctively shoots up, and I hit "u" instead. Wha... it seems like such a goof-ball thing to have to do: move your hand back and forth by *one key*. Am I the only one who has this problem? Is there a way (how, please, in newbie language) to remap hjkl to jkl; ? What problems will that buy? I presume most people just learn how to shift the hand back and forth by one key. If I stick with vim, I'll swap esc and caps-lock. (Whoever put caps- lock in prime real estate should be imprisoned.) --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist.
