I don’t use either myself—my studying activity is 90% searching/reading, 10% coding/LaTeXing, so I never really bothered to optimise my computer for keyboard control (whereas I’m always looking for the newest and most feature-rich mouse and make large use of gestures and button combinations). But I know a lot more people who swear by vimperator than people who actually use vi.
Perhaps vimperator? It would enable you to get at least basic vi familiarity during your off-time, instead of hampering your productivity.
I’m a vim user and even so that thing drove me nuts. Have you used it enough to get past the learning curve? And if so is it useful?
I’m half considering giving it another shot, but perhaps leaving the help screen open on my second monitor...
