finally, managed to learn moving in vim with hjkl instead of arrow keys.

Next step: stop using hjkl. No joke.

Use search instead, e.g. f or t or /. Navigate bigger junks of text though Ctrl f and Ctrl b and that's just the tip of the iceberg.

If you press any key more than two times your workflow can be improved. (You can combine numbers with movements. 5 instead of jjjjj)

I do recommend a hard mode plugin.

Good read on this one:

Why not using the mouse. It's there for a reason.
I think I'll stick with MS Word
