Notes

I call this the "give me h, j, k and l back but don't screw around with much else" mapping. Most keys are in their colemak positions, few are in qwerty and only one is in neither.

Keys in qwerty position

• h, j, k, l - colemak h, n, e and i: movement.
• n - colemak k: next search result.
• N - colemak K: previous search result.
• i - colemak u: go to insert mode.
• I - colemak U: go to insert mode at begging of current line.
• u - colemak l: undo.
• U - colemak L: undo on current line.
• ctrl-j - colemak ctrl-n: enter.

Keys in neither qwerty nor colemak position.

• j - qwerty e: cursor to end of word.
• J - qwerty E: cursor before next non-whitespace word.

This is an unfortunate logistical necessity. All other keys are in colemak position.
