I'm sure what you're calling common misconception is actually the
standard practise among typists - otherwise, which index finger do you
extend to hit the g key? The bumps are there precisely for the purpose
of helping you locate your fingers on the keyboard without looking.

Are there any typists in the house?

ps. I'm not making judgements on what works for anyone else, but I am
puzzled why vim doesn't use jkl; as its movement keys... would the
semi-colon cause a problem on some keyboards?
