But Think about all the time you'll be saving in the long run if you
took a little time here or there to learn either emacs keys or vi
keys. (vi is better =P )
It seriously pains me to see people use notepad, constantly shifting
from keyboard to mouse, to keyboard, holding down arrow keys...
scrolling even *shudder*
vi has ruined me, I find myself constantly typing extraneous "^" and
"$" and "r" among others in all my documents :(
