Admittedly im not a hardcore vim/nix user, but I am pretty proficient in nix and CLIs in general. Are you saying you dont use the arrow keys? :D

Ha! Sometimes. But getting around in the editor is so easy with the Vim keys that the arrow keys seem archaic.

But I still push the arrow keys from time to time, you know, to make sure they still work.

Lol, it was half joke im sure you gathered. There isnt really much of a possible shortcut to doing "move the cursor 1 character to the left".

The optimization isn't in "move the cursor 1 character to the left", it's in "move the cursor 1 character to the left without moving your arm".

But there are shortcuts for things like moving cursor to next indentation block or to closing or opening brace.
