You may enjoy a dvorak keyboard. Up and down (j and k) are the c and v keys. Left and right (h and l) are j and p.
Yeah...but I like other people being able to use my keyboard. Besides I already get confused between Windows shortcuts and Mac ones. Can't imagine QWERTY vs DVORAK

I much prefer mapping caps lock to ctrl. That reach is much more difficult for me
Swap caps lock and escape, then set the bottom row from the left as windows key, alt, ctrl, space. Then you can easily use ctrl with your left thumb.
I've been using Vim for a couple of years now and I almost can't stand any text editor without VIM-like extension. However, recently I took a liking to Visual Studio Code (with VIM bindings of course). Yes I know, it's terribly bloated and consumes RAM like nobody's business, but the Browser DOM arguably is the successor of terminal emulation in terms of ubiquitous interfaces, and VSC does use the additional power qu…

There are just so many bugs with Vim implementation in VSC. For example the two undo systems can lose sync and randomly delete half the document.

I've grown quite dependent on multiple cursors myself. Supposedly, Kakoune is a vim-like editor with good multiple cursors support. http://kakoune.org/
Mmm.. I see there are also vim plugins for multiple cursors, like https://github.com/terryma/vim-multiple-cursors ..
After years of a love/hate relationship with Vim (I love what it does, but have configuring it), I had an epiphany: by sticking with the defaults, whether they are my preferred choices or not, I can instantly understand how to use Vim in any environment. Once you get used to biting the bullet and hitting escape instead of jj, or ctrl+c, it just works, everywhere. If you abandon the urge to pimp out your Vim with a bi…
Well you can also invest the small amount of time to type in:
:imap jj

If you want portable then yeah empty out your .vimrc and get fluent with vims superpowers as they are. If you want "personalized powerhouse editor with IDE powers" you are FAR better off going with Emacs/Evil. The Emacs plugin ecosystem is way ahead of Vim. Plugins are clean, stable and compose well together. That was never my experience with Vim. Also unlike Vimscript, Elisp is pretty clean useable language that man…
I agree, and I use both Vim and Emacs regularly. Both great tools with different payoffs.

You can install IdeaVim in PyCharm. I've been using IdeaVim with IntelliJ for 6 years and could never go back to non-vim style editing. This plugin provides the best of both worlds.
Not to be unkind but have you tried actual Vim or adding any functionality to an ide?
