Thanks for all your advices.
I don't want to swap j and k. It was just an example. I want to know
how to swap "normal" keys like j and k. I don't know what for yet. I
just want to know how to do it.
Probably I won't find an example that you find reasonable. Maybe I
find to "expensive" to type $ (S-4) or in my keyboard ][ (AltGr-` and
AltGr-+). I know is going to be hard to find a key that I don't want
to use enough to swap it with any "expensive" key combination that
produces a command that I feel I want to be easier to type.
Will it work?
:noremap j k
:noremap k j
More interesting, will it work?
:noremap ' {
:noremap ç }
note that I have ' ` and ' (three different keys).
thanks
