On my PC keyboard I've permanently rebinded the CapsLock key to BackSpace, and Apostrophe to Semicolon in the firmware; It improves my typing speed. (This is a QWERTY keyboard, USA layout)

  620 13,995 9.9 TypeScript

  The most customizable typing website with a minimalistic design and a ton of features. Test yourself in various modes, track your progress and improve your speed.

  

I put the apostrophe key closer to the letters and moved the semicolon away, because if the apostrophe key is too close the the Enter/Return key, I'll often accidentally send messages I'm typing before they're done. (I don't hunt and peck, but my typing still isn't perfectly precise). For example my score just now on Monkeytype's words per minute test was 56 words per minute with an accuracy of 90%. Over a course of 2 mins 30 seconds I typed a quote with all the capitalization and apostrophes. (I mention this because many typing tests omit these details.) If you missed 1 in 10 letters, you'd want to minimize the time it took to delete things too, even if it only saves like 300ms each time.

  A tree explorer plugin for vim.

  

A fresh out-of-thebox vim install is not what most vim users use. Everyone has a .vimrc they use with special tweaks for their setup/workflow/uses. An important part of that is plugins, and for this case nerdtree but honestly trees are not great in most cases. I would recommend looking at a fuzzy finder, no matter what editor you use.
