" Quick exit insert mode
"
" Escape is at the far corner of my keyboard, and having it so far away
" was discouraging my from exiting insert mode. Qwerty users can remap
" jk to <esc>, which is a far better solution. The keys are next to each
" other, and it makes exiting insert mode a pleasant rolling motion.
" Moreover, when in normal mode, jk is a no-op.
"
" As a dvorak user, jk was too cumbersome, but there were no other
" suitable candidates. hh is inferior in that it is not a no-op in
" normal mode, but it is just as easy to type. The only caveat is when
" an edit ends with h, which is why hhh will expand to place an h in
" the buffer before exiting.
"
" To encourage me to adopt the new style, I disable escape. That one is
" sure to mess up someone not familiar with my setup.

" Bad arrow keys
"
" This will disable use of arrow keys in normal and insert modes. This

" keys anymore.
"
" That said, I have reservations about the apparently egregious nature
" of the arrow keys. On my MacBook, they are quite close. Still, I can
" understand that it is better to rely only on the core keys that you
" know are within reach, not just the ones that happen to be on one
" computer.
