I am curious if you have used the keyboard layout with vim? If so, did it require a lot of remapping or it turned out it works well?

I am still trying to figure out how best to do this with vim. My own preference would be to remap a bunch of vim keys in a layout-independent way. For instance, (using QWERTY for reference) movement keys could be IJKL or ESDF instead of HJKL, so that they're arranged the same way as movement keys in other programs. Also moving forward a word could just be the key to the right of the right movement key (because it moves right farther) and moving backward a word could be the key to the left of the left movement key (because it moves left farther). This would also be much more user friendly.

But I'm a little scared of remapping too many things and getting too far away from original vim.
