Keybindings are way off on non-qwerty keyboards.


Second that. With my belgian-french keyboard, some keys are correct, some aren't. I can't even refer to an online picture of a qwerty keyboard. Very confusing.

I also tried switching to a qwerty keyboard layout on my computer, but then I'm told that ':' is not a valid command (this might have to do with my lack of vi-savyness, so I'm taking tips - but using ':' to enter some commands is how it works on my linux box anyway).


Using vi keybindings in dvorak is an exercise in pain anyways...
