WEBMay 29, 2021 · [deleted] • 3 yr. ago. It is the way it is because of the keyboard on which vi was written. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ADM-3A#Hardware. Strongly recommend keeping your index finger on 'j' (the touch type position), not on 'h'. It's rare that you'll use 'h' or 'l' for horizontal movement anyway, it's faster to move by word or with f/t/F/T.
