Hi i3-discuss@,
I didn't find a way to search in the archives, so I'll ask.
Are there any reasons to shift "right" the classic vi 'hjkl' directions
commands to 'hjk;'?
There is a historic reason for using 'hjkl':

Besides this, there is a practical reason too. On a lot of non-US layout
keyboards, ';' doesn't come at the right side of 'k', where 'hjkl' is
almost universal. This makes a pain use i3 with the default conf.
Cheers,
