Heh, kj is a no-op too of course (down then up).

I have literally never found myself needing to pause to wait for a k and then a j. What are these words with "kj" in them that you're wary of? I'm genuinely curious :)

Blackjack? In english there are words that end in k while I don’t know of any that end with J.

However my vim set up maps jk, kj, jj, and kk to Esc to in reality it is safe to just mash those two keys and one of the maps will work.
