I have seen similar key patterns for cursor movement in other software.
If I remember correctly WordStar, the word processing program, used the
pattern i, j, k and m for cursor movement.

I'm sure someone else will be able to show you how to enable CUA
keybindings,
but I have to take issue with your claim that C-f, C-b, C-n, and C-p are
less
intuitive than C-j, C-l, C-i, and C-i.  The Emacs bindings have obvious
mnemonics: forward, backward, next, and previous.  Your suggested
bindings
based on the keyboard layout are like vi's (h, j, k, and l), but you use
the
top and bottom rows to represent vertical motion, which does make more
sense.

So how would you represent horizontal and vertical motion to the
beginning and
end of the line or buffer?
