Real equipment for Vi / Vim

    Please note, dear Vi / Vim fans, for which peripherals your favorite editor was originally made. This is not khukh-mukhra for you, but the ADM-3A terminal, by the way, with a data transfer rate of 75 baud, and it costabout one kilobax.



    But what is his keyboard, from which it will immediately be clear why real peppers use only h, j, k, l to move to Vi, and not poppy arrows - because there are no dumb arrows. The letter is one premise (byte), and the arrows that appeared much later are three.



    It will also be immediately clear why the [Esc] button was so convenient to use, along with the [Ctrl] key, in contrast to the ibiem keyboards, in which this most trump and convenient place on the keyboard is taken by the completely meaningless CapsLock button.
