(define-key evil-insert-state-map [left] 'undefined)
(define-key evil-insert-state-map [right] 'undefined)
(define-key evil-insert-state-map [up] 'undefined)
(define-key evil-insert-state-map [down] 'undefined)

(define-key evil-motion-state-map [left] 'undefined)
(define-key evil-motion-state-map [right] 'undefined)
(define-key evil-motion-state-map [up] 'undefined)
(define-key evil-motion-state-map [down] 'undefined)

Motion state map disables the cursor keys in normal, operator, visual
as well as the special motion states.

(define-key evil-motion-state-map "j" #'evil-next-visual-line)
(define-key evil-motion-state-map "k" #'evil-previous-visual-line)
