It's a shame that all tutorials apparently tells you to use ESC to get out of insert mode. The real way to do it is Ctrl-c, which keeps you on the home row. It works even better if you map Caps Lock to Ctrl.
- statictype 16y agoYou can also use Ctrl-[ to go to normal mode. Ctrl-O takes you to normal mode for a single command and then automatically goes back to insert mode. Frankly, I find it easier to map Caps to Escape. Only problem is when you use other people's systems and you keep hitting caps lock when you mean to hit escape (Even if you're not in Vim)
- ichverstehe 16y agoThe trick with mapping Caps Lock to Ctrl is that you can use it for all your regular Ctrl-shortcuts. At least on MacBooks the regular Ctrl is placed totally impossible. But yeah, I /can't/ use others computers without getting utterly frustrated because of that. :)
