Note that EDT has a direction mode so that rather than LLWW, EDT would use: Down AdvChar AdvChar AdvWord AdvWord and rather than HH, EDT would use: Up AdvChar AdvChar. EDT also uses the arrow keys rather than HJKL.

Vim also allows you to use the arrow keys - but using HJKL is supposedly faster if you type properly, as they are in the home row. I, however, do not type properly, so I find the arrow keys just as fast.
