moving up, down, right,left in unix
I wonder why it was decided to use ' h,j , k, l ' for moving up, right, left, bottom . I am curious why these letters were chosen instead of arrows. Why not some other letters. please advise

In addition, keyboards at that time often did not have arrow keys or function keys. Here http://www.computermuseumgroningen.nl/icl/iclkeybig.jpg is a typical keyboard from that time.
