You can absolutely change the keybindings, vim is programmable.

Yes, but I meant that in the sense that when you change vim, it's no longer the vim that ships with Linux distros. It stops being the universal tool and starts becoming your custom text editor,and to me the biggest advantage of vim is how you're going to encounter it everywhere.

  • Okay, but that's true of anything? If you customize the shortcuts in an IDE, then you are also no longer running the defaults.
