@nyanide @Tony @Humpleupagus @kybermace when I type this comment, the letters go into the comment. to move I use arrows, to do other things I press control or shift. this is how every text entry, including DOS, I ever used works
but VI is somehow better because it was invented for use on punch cards and vacuum tubes - I just don't see the appeal of not just typing and using the abundant modifier keys and arrows to move about (and occasionally even the mouse)
