jkl README

jkl is a modern vim mode alternative, with spacial controls, instead of lexical. You switch into and out of a navigation mode using cmd+j / ctrl+j.

The left hand has scale modifiers: letter = f, word/block = d, [file = s, folder = a]. e.g when in word scale modifier mode, the right movement will move over words instead of characters. Other commands: r = select mode, h = save, u = backspace, i = copy, o = paste, m = undo, ',' = redo,
