Puke. Triangle layout may be more intuitive to learn for single char/line movement, but is probably not easier to type. Certainly not WASD layout, laying on the weak fingers of the left hand. Vi's ergonomic problems lay with @ and ESC on the modern keyboard, not with hjkl. Does anyone *know* what sane keybindings are? Vi seems less insane than most to me (once you restore @ and ESC to their 70's positions, and swap CTRL / ALT), but - it's still pretty insane. - Noah
