+It's been half a year on [Xah's Fly Keys](http://xahlee.info/emacs/misc/xah-fly-keys.html) and it's a wonderful bindings system.
+A lot of the ideas there are amazing: shortcuts for inserting all the brackets, great case change, bookmark support, to name just a few.
+It was also very _comfy_ to use with `jkli` instead of `hjkl`.

+But now I'm back at Evil.
+First of all, I am (once again) watching old Luke Smith's videos and became very nostalgic for the keys I've spent years learning.
+Secondly, I got what I wanted out  of Fly Keys - Emacs mindset.
+It kinda like BSD - for the untrained eye it's Linux, but the differences go deep.
+
+The biggest problem with FK however is that I needed to adjust every freaking thing to it, as I am not smart enough to use two similar key bindings at the same time.
+Ed is everywhere - terminal, browser, remote connection and so on.
+I was fighting with my muscle memory all the time, while `hjkl` were just _there_.
+At the same time, Fly Keys are open-sourced Xah's workflow.
+It's not a general use case, and I didn't use most od the provided functionality.
+But those which I used, I _loved_.
+Guess I'll need to port them to my new Evil setup.
+
+Currently, my brain is readjsuting and I can barely control the cursor :-)
