The last word of your comment made me respond..

That'd be considered 'wrong' or missing out. Which the game tries to correct. Supposedly later levels will teach you about vim 'words' and you'll combine hjkl with lots of other commands. You cannot do that the way you use the software. How's that 'lame'?

And what kind of an attitude is this if you click on a game that is supposed to teach you about vim and complain that it's forcing you to learn something right afterwards?
