Before you crucify me please note I have a an Ultimate Hacking Keyboard and I already can move with arrow keys on the home row :)

I suppose I don't have to since I have a different layer to activate my arrow keys on the home row but still.

    Just because a key exists on your keyboard doesn't mean that you have to use it. If you don't wat to use hjkl for navigation… just don't.

You can use vim-hardtime to help fix bad habits with regard to hitting hjkl. It will only allow you to press these keys once per second (sometime you only need to shift one letter/line)

    My reading of the OP is different and somehow opposite. He want not to use the functionality instead of being forces to use the right move.
