A comment on History and Effective Use of Vim.

I realized why Vim has always felt a little off to me. The primary navigational commands are mostly on the right hand, which as a left handed person feels very weird to me. While Emacs commands favor neither hand (if anything they favor the left with C-f, C-b, C-a, C-e, C-x C-s, M-x, etc). Just a small observation.

You may enjoy a dvorak keyboard. Up and down (j and k) are the c and v keys. Left and right (h and l) are j and p.

Yeah...but I like other people being able to use my keyboard. Besides I already get confused between Windows shortcuts and Mac ones. Can't imagine QWERTY vs DVORAK

It's possible to switch keyboard layouts on the fly when another user takes over.
