I've been dinking around with #vim a bit lately. Looked some of the help info and I have a serious question: why are some of the keyboard shortcuts so arbitrary?

Ctrl+] to follow a link but Ctrl-T to go back? I can't see the logic. Is there any to this?

Follow

In , `Ctrl-T` pops from the Tag stack, and I suspect the ] in `Ctrl-]` is short for ]ump to definition.

In , for comparison, goto definition is `gd`, and there's only a jumplist, not both a jumplist and a tag stack.
