Don't think of them as hjk-and-l. You'll never get anywhere with vi like that. It's like learning a foreign language. You don't want to learn that perro (in spanish) means dog (in english). You want to associate the idea of a dog with perro and leave english out of it. Similarly forget that key with the h has an h on it. Remember that it is to the left of the others and it is the key that makes the cursor go left. Similar with l. Next is j and I think up before down and j comes before k on the keyboard etc. I don't really even think about how the keys are positioned relative to each other anymore, I just know that the key in that position goes in that direction and my fingers now move the cursor without even thinking just like you associate dog with what a dog is in your mind without doing any translation. Or do as Stewart suggested play some larn. :) -- Tracy Reed http://ultraviolet.org This message is cryptographically signed for your protection. Info: http://copilotconsulting.com/sig
