I have tried that, particularly in recent times, but my eyesight is not
what it was when I was younger. I miss too many intervening characters,
except in the case of ','. Also, as soon as I use a search my bones
insist that it should work across line boundaries. That t/T/f/F do not
is so frustrating that I generally use it once or twice in a session,
then shift to '/', to reduce the swearing.

Oddly though, I'm increasingly partial to using especially "cf".

That would help a lot. I might try changing my habits.

And once we're chained to a mapping by habit, it's hard to change.
