    <blockquote> <p>I think that my speed (and posture at the computer) will be improved by not having to escape from insert mode</p> </blockquote> <p>No, you must escape from insert mode right after you typed what you want. It quickly becomes a reflex, so you don't really lose time (I sometimes even press escape after completing a web form...). Normal mode isn't just for moving around, it's used to perform most operations (save from typing): for instance deleting or moving sections of text. You also benefit from entering insert mode with the appropriate key: <kbd>o</kbd> to start a line, <kbd>S</kbd> to replace a line (while keeping indentation), <kbd>A</kbd> to move to the end of the line, <kbd>c</kbd>+<code>motion</code> to replace a few words or until a given character... All of these save keystrokes.</p> <p>The mouse seems fast, but in reality it isn't precise, so you lose time (in addition to the constant back and forth with the keyboard). ViM has a long list of moving commands (see <code>:help usr_03</code>) which, when mastered, are faster than the mouse in most situations.</p> <p>Use search the most you can (<code>/</code>, <code>?</code>, <code>*</code>, <code>#</code>, <code>f</code>, <code>t</code>...). I personally use <kbd>Ctrl</kbd>+(<kbd>d</kbd>,<kbd>u</kbd>,<kbd>f</kbd>,<kbd>b</kbd>) a lot. Also, <kbd>Ctrl</kbd>+(<kbd>o</kbd>, <kbd>i</kbd>) and <code>``</code> are really useful to go back where you were before a search or something else.</p> <p><kbd>h</kbd>, <kbd>j</kbd>, <kbd>k</kbd>, <kbd>l</kbd> are there to place your right hand near to useful commands (<kbd>i</kbd>, <kbd>u</kbd>, <kbd>o</kbd>...): I always have my fingers on them. The arrows force you to move your hand a lot.</p> <p>Try to look at a few commands in <code>:help</code>, then use them a lot, and you'll get habits about what you should use to move according to the situation. Nobody uses ViM the same way.</p>

    1. CO+1, but that is not why h,j,k, and l are where they are. They are there because the target computers when vi was first written didn't have dedicated arrow keys.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
