A: Why does vim use hjkl for cursor keys?

DJMcMayhemNobe4's answer is great, and explains why we use hjkl very well. However, it's really interesting to see the full keyboard, and a lot of strange things about vim make more sense when you can see the full keyboard it was designed on. For example, why does vi rely so heavily on the esc key, when it...

Ooh, that's pretty cool

(the difference is in how the ends of the V are displayed)

How about this: tio.run/nexus/…

I'm not sure. It should depend on the size of the input though

DJMcMayhem
DJMcMayhem

The only downside is that single letters look meh
 
Kritixi Lithos

I think 1 + 3*(new Scanner(System.in).nextInt()) looks better
I take that back, I think
 
DJMcMayhem
DJMcMayhem
I have another idea
Just a sec
Same as before, but without the Duplicate character
