2023年6月16日 · I didn't go further because I didn't think it was particularly relevant. Vi uses HJKL for reasons outside of its creator's control. He didn't "choose" HJKL over JKL; or JIKL. He just used what made most sense in what was his current context. Bullet point #3 was deep enough for the problem at hand.
