Happy birthday Vim (2020)

I use neo2. The keys for hjkl are totally scattered and left and right switched. Still, working in qwerty or without vimbindings seems like hell. Keep at it, it will become muscle memory.

I also use neo2 and am using the neo arrow keys and Esc on layer 4. Works like a charm.

Fun thing with neo: You have additional keys free for keybindings: hjkläöüß

I'm using ä, ö and ü to save, close buffer and quit vim. I'm very happy with that.

Can you use those layer 4 keys in macros though?

Great idea to reuse äöüß!

Yes, layer 4 keys (like arrow keys) in macros are working well.

Here are my üöä bindings: https://github.com/fdietze/dotfiles/blob/83455c587ccdacaf681...
