I just gave this a whirl, and it looks really great. The homerow
thing works well, and it all seems fast and simple and readable and
works! So I approve. The only thing I'd change is the default
keybind from C-a to C-d, as it's more comfortable for me to hit. But
yes, I approve.

I'll continue using it for a week or so to see if I can weed out any
issues, and if not I'll put it in place of the old hints page on the
wiki (if nobody has any objections?)
