Dave, I don't know ANYBODY who's right pinky finger can even extend
to the backspace, \, or past right side of the Enter key on a traditional
101-key keyboard without moving the wrist...and hence the entire
fore-arm.
Are you claiming to have detachable fingers?

Besides Dave Tholen, BIGGEST FUCKING IDIOT IN THE UNIVERSE,
the set of people who wants to type "yuioopnm," consists of who exactly?

And this supports the argument for using arrow keys how, exacty?

And it grows bigger every year.
termcap has them all in one file.
That eventually got to be tooooooooooo big, so
terminfo was invented, with separate files for a*, b*, c*, etc.
named, of course, a, b, c, etc respectively.
