This is a nice tip! What stopped me from doing this in the past is that I still rely on arrow keys when I'm in command-line mode (when you press : or /). My personal tip is to learn about leader keys and really make use of it 😃.

Cool! What are some of your most frequently used leader commands?

[Mac Siri]

My most used are saving, quiting, and save&quit in below. Reducing keystrokes are always a plus!

let mapleader = ","
noremap <leader>w :w<cr>
noremap <leader>q :q<cr>
noremap <leader><Tab> :wq<cr>
noremap <leader>f :tab split<CR>:Ack ""<Left>
noremap <leader>F :tab split<CR>:Ack <C-r><C-w><CR>
noremap <leader>3 :NERDTreeToggle<CR>

Awesome. I'll definitely have to do more leader-ing. Thanks!
