Vim and non qwerty keyboards? (lemmy.sdf.org)

Has anyone ever tried to use vim on a non qwerty layout? I've always been interested in colemak but having to possibly re-bind every single key for vim is daunting.

Yeah definitely no rebind. I use dvorak and what I realized was that you don't memorize the locations of the keys in vi, you memorize the letters themselves. So once you know the layout, you don't have to relearn vi. But if you remap your keys, you'll have to do both.
