Poll: Should [ ] keys be changed to go to Next / Previous?

[Vincent Scheib]

j k keys move to next/previous. Also true in gmail and other apps.

[ ] keys in gerrit are flipped, and go to previous/next instead. 

This is inconsistent in gerrit, but also with gmail.

Should this be fixed? This dilemma may reach the levels of consternation Chrome's Backspace key caused, where some wanted it to navigate, and others hated loosing data. Thankfully, the gerrit user community is easier to poll. Have at it, express you opinion!

For the record, the intent is not to be "inconsistent", the intent is to be *consistent* with vim:

You're more than welcome to dislike vim keybindings, but then maybe you should not be using j/k :)

Thanks, I'm a vim user frequently using j k, but not to using [ ], keys. Knowing that derivation helps. ;)
