im switching to colemak-dh and i need some advice.

im writing this with colemak-dh, beleive me its hard. whats even harder is the hjkl navigation. so should i remap it to neio? you can consider me a long run guy, so your answers can be based on that.

thanks in advance.

    I’ve been using colemak mod dh without remapping and would recommend that approach. I found it encourages me to use other more efficient motions when possible, and my brain has gotten pretty used to the new locations the times that I need to use hjkl.

        I use flash.nvim extensively to jump around. There are also %, [[, [(, etc to work with brackets. vim-multicursor-visual helps to find and edit multi occurrences.

        And for the rest I have a an easily reachable layer on my programmable keyboard with arrow keys in the home row instead of QWERTY ghjk
