Wow, cool!! I thought I was the only one using the IJKL inverted T!!! And my H key is the insert key. I'm 28. :D I've inoremapped mine to move the cursor around while alt is pressed, word by word with Ctrl, and up and down 10 lines at a time with Ctrl. I've also mapped many other keys to IJKL, e.g. H for text object, moving between windows after pressing <c-w> uses IJKL, IJKL instead of HJKL after pressing Z in normal, etc. Basically every use case. I've got a couple left to do when I find some spare time for it. I need to redo them all non-recursively. IJKL makes so much incredible sense.
But yeah, I use Ctrl+i to move the cursor, so pressing tab moves the cursor, which is annoying, so I've gotten used to Ctrl+n for autocompletion and Ctrl+t for tabbing, but as soon as this issue is fixed, I will gladly put my tab key back into use for tabbing and autocompletion. /#!/JoePea On Oct 3, 2014 4:41 PM, "Michael Longval" <[email protected]> wrote: > 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.
