Thanks Benjamin,

I'm actually thinking of using jf. The jk sequence seems a little
slow/tiring because I have to reposition the hand in a weird way. The
jj combo is similar. But with jf, the left index finger is readying
itself as the right index finger strikes, so it will be faster. The
cool thing about the j key is it's unlikely to be followed by a
consonant, so I have the choice of many, many key combos.

I'll get back to you all when I've fully evaluated key combos.

Thanks
