Forum:Hjkl: two hands?

Hi everybody!

I'm thinking of starting to use the hjkl (yubn) keys, and I'm really wondering how I'm supposed to hold my fingers. I understand hjkl comes from the amazing world of vi and early terminals with no arrow keys, and hjkl is supposed to be oh-so convenient as you don't have to move your fingers from the home row.

But with nethack things are a bit different: not only are yubn outside the home row, b belongs to the typing zone of the left hand!

The question is: do you use the normal touch typing zones (both hands), or do you rest your right-hand fingers one step left of the normal typing position?

Thanks!
