If you ever see a touch-typist have his LEFT hand over {j,k,l,;},
don't count on his/her efficiency... :-)

More seriously, some older terminals had the arrows on these
keys (I remember a certain Zenith...)

Somebody said it couldn't be done  /  But he with a chuckle replied,
Maybe it couldn't, but he would be one  /  Who never said no till he tried.
So he buckled right in  /  With a brace and a grin
                                       And if he was worried, he hid it,
He started to sing  /  As he tackled the thing
                                       That couldn't be done
                                       And he did it.
