What the author means by "VI-type", I think, has something to do with "pseudo-graphical" layout. For an example of a "VI-type" layout within Emacs (that has nothing to do with VI) consider: <X| up |X> left down right That is what you see on the "Mode_switch" layer, centered on my homerow. For one-hand typing, this might offer some advantages or it might not. Assuming that one would have to "switch" the keyboard to access some of b, f, n, or p, then the advantage is clear; otherwise, I'm not sure it has any significant advantage (although I strongly prefer to use it). _______________________________________________ Help-gnu-emacs mailing list Help-gnu-emacs@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-gnu-emacs
