I just want to know why Vim developers (and other software) have chosen the "h j k l" keys for left, down, up and right and not the "j k l ;" keys?
I type with ten fingers and with touch typing, the right hand is on the "j k l ;" keys. To go to "left" I have to switch my forefinger from the "j" to the "h". I checked other national keyboards, they are almost all the same as the US keyboard. I noted that other software as well use the "j" and "k" keys to go down and go up. What is the reason for it? 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. -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist.
