- pletnes 9y agoNot for us vi/vim guys.
- AnIdiotOnTheNet 9y agoI assume that shortcut predates the existence of the Home key? Maybe we can let it die.
- AlexandrB 9y agoThe home key is in a terrible, terrible place on the keyboard and missing in many laptop keyboards. Ctrl-A is much easier to reach while touch typing, especially after remapping Caps Lock to Ctrl.
- spinningarrow 9y agoI hope not. I actually find C-a and C-e (for end) _much_ easier to type, especially with Caps Lock remapped to CTRL.
- AnIdiotOnTheNet 9y agoAnd my own personal muscle memory prefers a different setup, so that's why these things should be configurable, but the defaults should probably match common conventions don't you think?
- robohoe 9y agoset -o vi :D
