I bind shortcut keys in vim to common ones, something like this:

    :map ^Q :wq^M
It works good enough for me. I use vim keybindings also but this is sometimes useful.



like I said, I love Vim. If we could change every other editor to be like Vim, then the world would be a better place.

But we can't, and my muscle memory isn't refined enough to hit "ciw" in Vim to edit the current word, and not in any other editor. Especially web input controls, that tend to react badly to hitting ESC halfway through an edit :(
