I'm using dvorak layout, during programming or writing, it's difficult for me to move my hands from home keys to arrows key again and again, so can I create a shortcut such as ctrl+shift+alt+h that'll alternative to left arrow key, and ctrl+shift+alt+s alternative to right arrow, accessing to arrow key distract my focus from screen and I'll have to look at the keyboard again again, sometime I even forget what was I about to write.
Ubuntu – Can i avoid arrow keys and use any other shortcut that might be easy to access from home keys
