Slightly off-topic: how do you manage using an alternative layout with an editor like vim/Helix? I've been trying to figure out how/if to remap the keys in the editor condig.

If you remap hjkl to your right-hand home row, that could cause a cascade of other remappings. If you don't, you lose basic navigation with hjkl.

I use Dvorak, although I regret the choice to learn it instead of Qwerty. If you don’t remap, and I don’t, then you need to use two hands instead of one to navigate. Not a dealbreaker for me though, since by coincidence the places hjkl ended up on Dvorak that makes navigating with them tolerable.

Instead of qwerty?? Never even considered that a possibility.

I also don't remap anything. It's fiiine. You'll get used to it :-)
