special characters in abbreviations
I have the following abbreviation iab julianheader :r!~/.bin/datevim.sh It worked fine till I swapped the caps lock and the escape key at the os level. FYI I am using Ubuntu 16.04 Now the abbreviation no longer works. I am assuming in Vim now points to capslock >From my understanding the capslock key can not be referenced in vim, so I >tried using just the keycode but if I replace with the keycode for the >capslock key I just get the literal string. I have also added an additional escape key at the os level to and tried using that in Vim but no go. I am new enough in Vim I am not sure where to find the answer.

Mapping for one handed touch typing
I am a occasional Vim user. It is my default rescue editor and I use it for a few tasks but not many. I would like to use it for more because it is so customizable. What holds me back is I am a one handed left handed touch typist. I only have use of my left arm. The problem I have with Vim is while the key maps are natural for a two handed touch typist, they are awkward for for a one handed typist. The home row for one handed typing is fghj. That makes the direction keys of hjkl somewhat unnatural. Before, I create my own map, I was wondering has anyone found a remapping for one handed typing?
