Can't tell you how many slack messages I've deleted that were either ":wq" or "jjjkkkkhhhllll"
You know, I've been using VI for 30+ years and I always hated hjkl. I use them when I have to, but basically I need arrows to move around. I can't stand dropping out of insert mode to move the cursor, and the muscle memory drives me nuts. But hjkl is nice to have as a backup when nothing else works.
on my custom board the arrow keys are in a separate layer on top of hjkl
I’ve done this on teams on a couple of occasions 🤦♂️
