No, the legacy of HJKL in modern tools comes from vi, which itself uses them because the original ADM-3A terminal that Bill Joy used when developing it used HJKL in lieu of arrow keys.
viwas hugely influential and its legacy can be found in many tools beloved by software engineers and other tech-minded folks (andvi's successor, vim, is still widely used to this day).ahh alright! thanks for the additional info, I mostly know JKL<> from avid media composer which judging by the UI looked ancient to me when my lecturers insisted it's the "industry standard" and "no you can't use Premier Pro you need to learn avid or you won't find a job"
