Yes but some keyboards move the arrow keys below the bottom row, so
you don’t have to reach too far. And Shift+movement keys also enter
the muscle memory, to the point that I have to specifically bind C-M-P
and C-M-N in nxml-mode to functions that extend the region over the
previous (resp. next) XML element.
