Do normies actually use arrow keys to move around when programming?

I mapped '<-' as another modifier. I use this palm press way but with the right hand and the arrow key

it gets even crazier: normies actually have a dedicated number pad for wagecucking, and boomers piss all over themselves if you tell them to just use jkl numlock

My arrow keys specifically are super close to the rest of the keys, so I got used to just using them instead of indulging into hjkl fuckery.

i use them when i don't want to exit insert mode in vim, but i recently switched over to vi compatible mode, so probably not using arrows any more.

I always find it wild how people who work on a computer in which they type shit every day spend years/decades never doing this kind of thing.

If your already moving you're hand away from home row, may as well use the mouse.

numpad is anti-tranny protection. I think I'll order a few numpads and keep them around my desk just so they protect from the homo demons

using vim motions (HJKL) solves this problem althoughbeit there are many inconvenient keys regardless.

with skill you can hit them without looking but lets be honest you'll miss 40% of the time

Home row never clicked (heh) for me. I just chicken peck at 100wpm which isn't blazing fast but its good enough for pro gramming.

We use
Ctrl + n (next line)
Ctrl + p (previous line)
Ctrl + b (back character)
Ctrl + f (forward character)

CTRL-h, or just ignore it and fix everything when you're finished inserting.

Extremely based. I tried using Vim keybindings again after getting used to Emacs keybindings for months, and it feels like I'm cucking myself. The keybindings in insert mode are complete garbage, so you constantly have to switch between insert mode and normal mode.

The most important thing is not too look. I could never touch type the numbers before I did home row because my hands were all over the place. In the long run looking down for numbers and symbols made my neck hurt.

I have a layer on right alt with hjkl -> arrow keys and some other stuff. I have to use visual sneed at work, and they always break my customisations so I've started just using my own keyboard layer (using keyd, I connect remotely) to press their shitty default keybinds.

VSCode has that sikk shortcut to span the cursor across as many lines as you want at once. Sometimes it's useful... I use MnK though.

After switching to colemak I started to appreciate that vim keys support arrows by default. I have arrows in another layer.

I think so. It's definitely lacking the numpad, arrow keys and F keys, but I don't know what % it is. It's split too.

Vim is great if you are working over a ssh connection but for local stuff I'd rather eat my own shit than edit a large mass of text in vim.
