Comment Re:Kill the delete key (Score 1) 586
If you are using insert, delete, home, and end to manage navigation and insert modes then you are using Vim inefficiently. Use 'i' or 'R' to replace insert, 'd' followed by any navigation key to replace delete, and 0, ^, or $ to replace home and end. The whole point is that you shouldn't need to take your hands away from the home row. That said, I still use the handy block of six keys above the arrows in pretty much every application outside of Vim and would never suggest that they be removed.
