Possibly even insane. Hrm, maybe I've never tried hard enough. Do you use arrow keys to navigate, or do you just hit the dvorak hjkl and it doesn't bother you at all? Since I switched to dvorak, I haven't been able to enjoy a single game of hack/rogue, which is a lack far more important to me than what editor I use...so if you have any real suggestions about vi in dvorak, I'm interested, because I could profitably torque that into hack. :)
