h,j,k,l in vi

[Ted Nolan]

Actually, h, j, k and l are at least half memonic (since ^h is backspace
and ^j is line feed), but that is not the important point.

The point is that you never have to take your fingers off the letter keys
to move the cursor.  I have never used a terminal where the arrow keys were
more easily accessible than h,j,k and l.  In addition, if you tend to use
a variety of terminals (as I do), the placement of arrow keys never becomes
ingrained, but I can usually count on QWERTY.
