        • Using “cmd+f” to search terminal buffers instead of /
        • Using :wqa! and then reopening the editor instead of just using :w
        • Deleting an entire line by hitting x repeatedly
        • Adding to the end of a like by pressing i and then the right arrow key until they’re at the end of a line

        To be fair, I use arrow keys and I’ve been using vim for years. I happen to use Dvorak, so hjkl is… inconvenient (jk are where cv are on qwerty, h is where j is, and l is where p is). I could remap, but I’m used to other shortcuts.

        I almost never use hl, but I use jk periodically. I just happen to use other movements more.

      At my job I wrote a lengthy document on how to use vim, like the core concepts of the hot keys (each key has a meaning behind it, text objects and such). I feel like everyone was happy about it but no one used it at all. It’s painful as hell to see them fumble on vi and vim.
