Dear Vim users/devs/Bram I would like to add my voice to the request for an overhaul of Vim's key-input-handling.
Precisely my problem is with Ctrl-i, (like most everyone who complains about this problem). I am using Vim in my EMR (Electronic Medical Record) system. Although I have been using Vim for a long time, I still have not gotten used to the hjkl directional mapping. (I am 50, so I reserve the right to be cranky about stuff...) I have modified my .vimrc to give me an inverted-T in normal mode (jkl with i on top), but I want to be able to move around in insert mode with corresponding Ctrl- modified map. We all know where this goes...... As a tool Vim is very impressive, fast and infinitely customizable. It is however hamstrung to a certain degree by it's origins. (I don't think it was bad engineering... it had to be made to work with the technology of the moment.) I think that if Vim were to be "fixed" (some will say it isn't broken... I disagree) it would be used by many more people. To all those who have contributed to Vim, I say "Thank You". We all just want to make it a better tool.
