This is the best solution I've seen so far:

" Map Right Directionals to Left Commands
noremap s h
noremap d k
noremap f j
noremap g l

" Map Left Commands to Right Directionals
noremap h s
noremap k d
noremap j f
noremap l g

However, when actually using this mapping, it requires a double-press on the 's' and 'g' keys when switching from left to right.

Is there a better way to re-map these keys to work 100% correctly without the need to double-press keys?

    Are you trying to support both sets of keys simultaneously in vim? – sbtkd85 Apr 13 '12 at 13:59
  • How are you defining "simultaneously"? If you mean swapping the functionality of the left and right home keys, then yes. I've also tried `nnoremap`, but that doesn't work. The best solution so far for me has been to use `d` and `f` for up and down, and `h` and `l` for left and right. – Masao Kitamura Apr 14 '12 at 21:09
  • @Masao Kitamura : it works for me perfectly. I am unlsing vim 7.2 in Linux. – SibiCoder Jun 07 '16 at 07:03
