    The real advantage with the Viper keys is in my opinion perhaps that

Right.  In fact, when I referred to vi as a `cool' editor that is
exactly what I thought of as cool.  It was vi that made me think of the
editor as a `computer game' well worth becoming good at.  But whenever I
get that urge these days, it's gtypist that I turn to improve my touch
typing ... often thought a emacs.typ (gtypist's tutor files are .typ
files) with emacs key combinations---um, like the GNU/Emacs
Tutorial---would be worth building.

    However in the beginning getting used to the vi modal editing is a bit
    hard.

And now I get that phrase---I didn't know that modal editing was what I
was doing when I use vi.  Thank you, Lennart.
