I don't know the historycal reasons, but I can imagine the actual reason: Not all keyboard layouts have the ';' behind to 'L'. > > I type with ten fingers and with touch typing, the right hand is on > the "j k l ;" keys. Yes, but my right hand is on "j k l ñ" and I can imagine than more people could have other characters under this key. But most of layouts (if not all of them) has "hjkl" together. > > ps: I switched the keys "h j k l" to my "j k l ;" keys but I noted > that other software use the "j and "k" keys to move up and down so I > switched back to default. I just was going to suggest that. Also you can just move your hand one key to the left while you are scrolling and return to the usual position after that. -- Joan Miquel Torres__________________________________ Linux Registered User #164872 http://www.mallorcaweb.net/joanmiquel BULMA: http://bulma.net http://breu.bulma.net/?l2301 -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist.
