At work I have to do a lot of development in an on browser based IDE, which means no nice #emacs movement shortcuts like I'm used to, and moving around the code is painfully slow. The IDE does support #vi movements though, which I've been trying as a 'better than nothing' solution, and yeah, it's still hard. I don't think I'll ever get used to the logic of: if "h" is left/back, then "j" is down, and not up. Arghhh.
@hl Not that it will help but the logic was that C-h was backspace so h moves left and C-j was linefeed so j moves down. Doesn't, of course, explain k and l... 🤪 #emacs#vi
@chfkch I also wondered that, but this doesn't help me with this online IDE, where there are no options beyond 'use Vi key movements'; and if I want to retain a some small amount of vi muscle memory for other circumstances, then I have the same problem you do.
