Longtime vim users, do you keep your fingers on jkl; or hjkl in normal mode? Standard touch typing teaches us the home position for the right hand has the index finger on the j key, so your fingers are on jkl; . But standard vim motion keys are hjkl . I'm getting back into vim after 10+ years (omg, I got old when I wasn't paying attention) and find myself gravitating towards hjkl ... but that makes it harder to type upper-right letters, braces, etc. I'd like to train myself to use the most efficient/pragmatic method now instead of having to re-train later. Longtime, hardcore vim users, what's the best practice? Note: Bigger overlap with How do touch typists navigate in vi? I think this passes the "subjective" test because it's about deliberately cultivating an unconscious best-practice and not simply about people's preference
