Colemak plugin

This plugin remaps keys in zsh's vi-style navigation mode for a Colemak keyboard layout, to match the QWERTY position:

To use it, add it to the plugins array in your ~/.zshrc file:

plugins=(... colemak)

You will also need to enable vi mode, so add another line to ~/.zshrc:

bindkey -v

Restart your shell and hit the <ESC> key to activate vicmd (navigation) mode, and start navigating zsh with your new keybindings!
