I agree that sounds logical, but I urge you to reconsider!

You can train Vim to walk on its hind legs, but the result is
not attractive. Mucking around in easy mode is only going to
cause confusion, and delay your decision about whether you really
want to try Vim.

Put some effort into reading at least half of this:
http://vim.wikia.com/wiki/Tutorial

At first you won't see any reason you want to use the commands,
but after a while you will just use them without much thought.

Sorry to say all this without answering your question!
