That's a great idea; never thought of it before. The only worry is that it is not going to work on remote systems out of the box, confusing my muscle memory.



Yeah that's true. I have a lot of remappings and shortcuts in my vimrc file, and I struggle a bit when I'm using vanilla vim on another server. Thankfully, I'm usually able to snyc my ~/.vim/ and ~/.vimrc files to that machine if I'll be using it for more than just a one-off.

But it is frustrating otherwise.


The main thing I've yet to figure out wrt vim is good keybindings with a Norwgian key layout. We have ø where ; lives, æ in place of ', no single (non-shift ) [ and ] due to å. and a composing accent/single/back quote. Loosing three full keys to actual letters is a though break ;) I know a lot of people simply switch to a US layout, but it's not really a great solution when freq uently also typing in Norwegian.
