I don't think so - when in insert mode, every time I hit 'j' it puts
a 'j' and doesn't move me down.

(Interrupted by coworker reading over my shoulder.)

Huh?  Apparently there are these things called 'arrow keys', though
why someone would use them I don't know.  I assume it's a fad.

(Random observation: hjkl as movement makes great sense in QWERTY,
but on dvorak you might not realize the historical significance.)
