I want to remap default cursor movement keys (hjkl) to Colemak's on same places (hnei) + alt, just as described here: https://forum.colemak.com/topic/50-colemak-vim/p6/

This is what was typed to .vimrc (which lies in correct directory, I checked):

" Colemak hjkl hack
nnoremap <A-h> <Left>|
nnoremap <A-n> <Down>|
nnoremap <A-e> <Up>|
nnoremap <A-i> <Right>|

I have already tried to:

  • Remove "|"s
  • Switch between and
  • Use hjkl instead of <Left><Down><Up><Right>
  • Use "noremap" instead of "nnoremap",

Nothing happens. What is wrong?

    Detection of Meta\Alt can be wonky sometimes, maybe that's the problem, see if answers [here](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/7501092/can-i-map-alt-key-in-vim) help. – Michail Feb 26 '19 at 10:03

    You should explain on what OS you are. On Linux in terminal you could try to use `h` instead of ``. – Ralf Feb 26 '19 at 17:34

<esc>h instead of <A-h> works, thanks to Ralf
