Feature Request: Sane Keybindings #81

HJKL jumps over lines, which is usually confusing because we have no line numbers.

I don't think I follow you. Please be more specific.

Consider the following: Line one is soft wrapped. Line numbers are omitted in goyo. When my cursor is on the word 'line' of line one and I press 'j' the cursor jumps to to the word 'line' on line two. However line two is displayed on the third row which makes me assume that when i press 'j', I will in fact go to row two, the wrapped part of line one.


line one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one
one one one one one one one
line two two two two two two two two two two two

There is a solution to this on wikia. I would submit a pull request but think the quality would not be sufficient as i don not know how you would like to integrate these bindings with goyo, if even.

Okay, I see, thanks for the explanation. But it has never been an issue to me, which means, I don't think it needs be the default.

I usually use Goyo when editing markdown files in which I hard-wrap lines with textwidth
With j or k jumping over line, I can realize that the line is soft-wrapped. I would get the impression that the line is not soft-wrapped if Goyo implicitly sets the mappings and find it rather confusing. You see, we all have different habits and tastes. It's really hard to reach unanimous consensus.
You can enable line numbers with let g:goyo_linenr = 1
GoyoEnter and GoyoLeave provide unlimited flexibility

Ok, thank you for your thoughts on this. Pretty much expected this already but still wanted to suggest it.
