When using arrow keys for movement there's a danger that Emacs will turn
into one big inconvenience.
Rather, large amount of different keys to remember could lead to
thinking of a suitable typing scheme and that's imho is an enjoyable

When I realized that right-hand modifiers can be used as well as
left-hand, it made my experience much more pleasant.
