On a US keyboard, it is convenient to press [ and ] which each have their own key.

You can have the same convenience on non-US keyboards with a map like the following (this example is for a German keyboard):

map ü <C-]>
map ö [
map ä ]
map Ö {
map Ä }
map ß /

A key like ü is only useful in insert mode, and you can still use it in that mode.

Comments[]

Enter is heavily used and - in Turkish Q keyboard layout - far from hand position so it is productive to use "ş" character as <cr> in normal mode. That way the keyboard characters are lay like G H J K L Ş which boosts performance. It is also possibly a good idea to use "ğ" as a mapleader key which lays just above Ş.


nmap ş <cr>
let mapleader = "ğ" " in your .vimrc file
