I learned how to use the controls of VI decades before I actually learned that VIM existed, through Hack/Nethack. I thought the controls were ridiculous, but I was a kid, so I just accepted it and learned them, little did I know how useful they would become later on in life.



How close are the controls? I never noticed they were similar... maybe I should try to ascend again, as I'm terrible in VI


Movement in a lot of roguelikes is HJKL. Also it's very common for YUBN to make your character move diagonally.


You could almost make (d)ropping items into a similarity, too.
