Turbo navigation
jooize opened this issue · comments
Turbo navigation (HNEI=5*hjkl) was removed in c057ed0. I felt it didn't make sense as default mappings in Vim, and I would rather free up the keys for custom uses.
I considered adding an option, but decided not to because I didn't want to commit to having it in forever. Please write any arguments for and against.
You can add the following to your .vimrc to use turbo navigation again.
" Turbo navigation (Colemak) {{{
" Works with counts, see ":help complex-repeat"

I found myself abusing turbo navigation instead of learning to move using long-term more useful ways, but that doesn't feel like a strong argument against the feature.
I do use this a lot (up and down mainly). Thanks for showing how to add it back in here.
If you're going to keep it out, I'd suggest adding this snippet to the readme :)
I personally used the turbo navigation a lot, although I also agree with adding a "common extras" section to the readme that points this out.
