[Qt-creator] QtCreator and VI

So far I have done the vast majority of my Qt development with good
ol' vim and a command prompt.  I've tried using Eclipse and various
other IDEs but for my personal tastes I simply can't give up the text
editing features vim gives me for the features of an IDE.  So my
question/feedback is, what will/does Qt Creator do for me as a coder
who detests ever having to lift my hand from the keyboard under any
circumstances? This includes having to move my hand just to move the
cursor by using the arrow keys (an extremely frequent operation) which
drives me absolutely nuts.  I remember reading in one of the TT posts
about Qt Creator that you guys use vim a lot in house, and so I'm
curious what features of Creator will allow a die-hard VI user such as
myself and a good number of people I work with to convert?
