I both use vim movement and a proportional font for coding.

1/ That’s already broken by line wrapping. gj is the command moving up in the grid not j. The fact you are confusing the two should tell you how little of a difference some sideway movement makes.

2/ Don’t use ASCII art in code. It’s annoying for people not using monospaced font and I’m not alone.

Many people map j/k to gj/gk and forget that's not the default behavior.
Interesting, wasn’t aware of gj. I’ve always worked in code bases where a 120 or less character width is imposed, removing the possibility of line wrapping. TIL, mapping j to gj sounds like a good move.
