Don't use arrow keys, it shifts the center of gravity when typing. You want to use hjkl for movement, even better, try not to use hjkl at all and use movement commends such as w b e etc for movement.

First thing I do when setting up vim. 1. unbind arrow keys 2. bind jk to Esc 3. Set up tmux + vim integration with clipboard / mouse support

Love the new MBP the keyboard is great to type on.

I'd never heard of using hjkl for cardinal directional movement.

I am familiar with ijkl where jl <—> W E and ik <—> N S (used in Lode Runner and BurgerTime for the Apple IIe).

I honestly don't know: is hjkl standard in a command line app?

Yeah, in vi: http://www.catonmat.net/blog/why-vim-uses-hjkl-as-arrow-keys...

Only for vi users. Everybody else thinks they're weird.

It's the standard in vim.
