Re: Mapping for one handed touch typing

I'm also disabled having cerebral palsy with reduced mobility in both hands and arms. While most of my remappings probably won't help you one of the things I've done might: I've remapped most of the <C-{key}> commands to <F5>{key} because it's hard for me to hold down two keys simultanously and because I find it easier to hit <F5> with either index finger than reaching for the ctrl keys with my little fingers which are almost useless. I also find a longish timeout value very helpful, but that may be different when you have full mobility in one hand.

I am a occasional Vim user.  It is my default rescue editor and I use it for a few tasks but not many.  I would like to use it for more because it is so customizable.  What holds me back is I am a one handed left handed touch typist.  I only have use of my left arm.

The problem I have with Vim is while the key maps are natural for a two handed touch typist, they are awkward for for a one handed typist.  The home row for one handed typing is fghj. That makes the direction keys of hjkl  somewhat unnatural.

Before, I create my own map, I was wondering has anyone found a remapping for one handed typing?

Thanks in advance.
