Interesting.

Now works. BTW, there is now a user setting, @bool vim-crosses-lines
that determines
whether the f,F,h,l,t,T,x commands can cross line boundaries. True by
default, even though in the real vim it would be False by default.
Also, at present the f,F,t and T commands don't work if this setting
is False.

Based on this conversation, I see no need for alternatives for
backspace and del.
In fact, I think vim trainer mode probably should be retired.

A total disappointment. Was not able to get out of level one, so the
only practice I got was with the h,j,k,l keys.
Imo, it is a user preference, not a law of nature, whether arrow keys
are easier to type than h,j,k,l. In particular, the arrangement of
arrow keys on most keyboards is more intuitive that the plain keys.
Even after after much practice, I still confuse j and k. That never
happens with arrow keys. For me, "reaching" for the arrow keys is
second nature and so the assertion that h,j,k,l are superior is simply
wrong for me.

The more I use vim, the less I like it. I will fix the two
outstanding vim bugs and complete all of Kent's suggestions, and any
others that are easy to do. I'll continue to use vim mode while
working on vim, but I have no plans to use vim after the project
completes.

P.S. The / and ? and n keys now work, but they don't set the dot.
I'll fix that today.
