Add vim-style keyboard movement keys (hjkl)#277
Merged
Conversation
Make hjkl (and arrow keys) movement keys: h/l move between nav tabs, j/k move through list entries. Pressing j/down from a tab jumps to the first list entry on the page, and k/up from the first entry returns to the nav tab. The home tab shortcut moves from h to o to free up h for left movement, and LinkList entries gain a data-nav-item marker so movement targets work on every list page.

I just felt like I should be able to move around my own site faster. I don't really use the home shortcut too much so I moved that to o and let h just be a left movement key. Arrows also work.
Adds vim-style movement to the keyboard shortcut system:
h/l(or arrow left/right) move between nav tabs, andj/k(or arrow up/down) move through list entries. Pressingj/down from a tab — including right after navigating via a tab shortcut — jumps to the first list entry on the page (first Latest Posts entry on home, first post on/blog, etc.), andk/up from the first entry returns to the nav tab. The home tab shortcut moves fromhtoosohis free for left movement, andLinkListentries gain adata-nav-itemmarker so movement targets work on every list page. Movement keys onlypreventDefaultwhen they actually move focus, so arrow-key scrolling still works at list boundaries. Verified withmise run build,mise run lint(0 errors), and a real-browser pass through all behaviors.
