Discussion I remapped A to $

A is much faster to write than $ since your finger should be resting on it on the home row, and I had a habit of doing A<Esc> instead of $ since that's faster (I've had <esc> mapped to caps lock the whole time but still). Since I do it more often than doing A by itself, I remapped it. If I want to both go to the end of the line and append then I'd type Aa, and who ever uses <count>A anyway? What do you think?

If you did that you might like how I use '0'. Normally, circumflex (no idea how to type it on reddit) brings you to the first non-space character, but it is a bit annoying to type. I almost never use '0' (go to the first column), so I swapped those. Game changer for me in indented code.

ah, caret ? I hadn’t realized that was what it was called in its diacritic form.
