Recently there was reddit discussion about proper finger placement on the most basic chords – next/previous line: C-p and C-n.

Whether you should use your pinky or switch to modal editing is besides the point.

The point is very simple: don’t discount the option of aggressively rebind your most commonly used commands to more convenient keys.

Pretty much nobody would use C-p and C-n for so important functions.

It’s your editor, dammit, and nobody (including me), should tell you how to use it!
