It looks like you picked the easy ones.  Would you care to explain
what the four following are supposed to stand for?
	k  previous-line	keep moving back?  :-{
	j  next-line		jump forward?	   :-/
	l  forward-character	lunge? or launch?  :-)
	h  backward-character	harken back?	   :-]

Your comment about intelligence is unnecessary and uncalled for.
