you mistake speed as the dominant factor and then you claim you are fast enough so switching is not worth it, while you should instead focus on comfort. you will only fully realise this after experiencing pain.

also, while vim hjkl navigation was designed for qwerty, emacs shortcuts are not.

Interesting link! I type Colemak and pretty much gave up on Vim after trying to remap so many keys. This project didn't exist back when I gave up on learning Vim.
that project did not exist since i switched to colemak only recently, and that made my evil-mode setup (vim editing on top of emacs) completely unusable for me, which is why i started this project.

for a similar vim-based implementation (which served as inspiration for my remappings), see https://github.com/ohjames/colemak
