I understand, however even as a vi user you use the "j" and "k" keys for 
up and down movement, the "h" and "l" keys for left and right movement 
and the "w" for word forward forward, "b" for word back no? I've always 
heard that the reason for that is to more efficiently do movement while 
leaving your fingers on the "home row". If that's true then why then 
reorient your hands off home row to do word movement just for the 
command line? Just something to think about...
