im switching to colemak-dh and i need some advice.

im writing this with colemak-dh, beleive me its hard. whats even harder is the hjkl navigation. so should i remap it to neio? you can consider me a long run guy, so your answers can be based on that.

thanks in advance.

    vim.opt.langmap = ‘hjklHJKLneioNEIO;neioNEIOhjklHJKL’

    u answered the question without answering it. i dunno if u did that on purpose but im already feeling f-ed after remapping the keys. guess i should withdraw switching to colemak. i never realized vimd do this to me. thanks

    btw that langmap was cool

      Switching keyboard layouts is really hard it can take a lot of time to adjust. I haven’t been using it for very long (only like a year and a half) but there are lots of users who say it is well worth it in the long run. If you’re feeling f-ed about your new layout, I recommend trying to learn it as a side project over time, rather than making your whole setup use it. Stick with what you know for important stuff and use something like colemak academy until you are proficient enough to make the switch.

        Yeah, i can see your point. Actually colemak already feels good (yk those rolls) and i like it a lot, but colemak on vim, thats hard.
