For me confidently pressing Ctrl with palm is not possible w/o moving my fingers out of home row. For touch typists this is a big no-no. For others it may be OK. | |

Correct position of the Escape key in the time when vi was written. It was in the current Tab position, not CapsLock.

If you remap Ctrl to Alt (Cmd) and vice versa, then <C-[> really shines. Pinky is weak, thumb is strong. On QWERTY you don't even need to leave home row for that, on Dvorak it is not so good, but acceptable.

About pressing the Ctrl key (at the regular position) without twisting the little finger: you can press it with the external palm of the hand, as it is described well here (I found this nice clever trick on the 'Net, time to give it back :) and kudos to who invented it)

| Feb 4, 2015 at 20:09 | comment | added | John O'M. | Fully agree. Having the ctrl key on the home row improves a lot of usability (scrolling through completions with ctrl+n, scrolling through the file with ctrl+f/ctrl+b, escaping with ctrl+] etc. All of these key combos are easier to perform this way. | |
