RIght, right. Unfortunately I can't convince my brain to accept that Sublime+Vintage works like Vim. I need to be in Vim to trigger the Vim mode of thinking in my brain...

I'm curious though: I thought it was Emacs that had a special keyboard in the old days. What do you think could be easier in Vim with a different keyboard? (I can only think of ESC position).



Not much, actually, besides : which was unshifted. But we shouldn't overlook people who try to use Vi(m) on keyboards other than the US one. For instance, on the Italian layout, / and ? are both shifted, and on different keys, thus causing their relationship to be less intuitive, and further from the home row.
