My main problem with vim is that they use hjkl instead of jkl; , it doesn't make sense to me why they'd do that.

With qwerty you can be sure of layout of the letters and numbers across languages.

Makes sense. Spanish keyboards have Ñ instead of semicolon, so it'd break. But I'm sure other things break in France, where they use AZERTY. So it's not that universal.

That makes me wonder, is there a way to get a keypress based on the position of the key, rather than the keycode? Would that be useful? Would assuming everyone is using a normal keyboard with letters in the same place even make sense? How would that interop with things like QMK?
