I would also recommend quickly getting in the habit of using ctrl-[ instead of reaching clear over (on most keyboards) for the escape key.

- silentbicycle 16y agoOr you can remap caps-lock to escape. I know that doesn't match the whole 'vi is already everywhere (on Unix)' aspect, but it's an option.
- ralph 16y agoSurely Caps Lock is already mapped to Ctrl? Then Ctrl-[ for Escape becomes easier as do all the other Ctrl combinations.
- silentbicycle 16y agoI could see hardcore vi users mapping it to Escape rather than Ctrl. Or maybe Menu, Windows, etc. keys, on keyboards that have them.
- jamesgeck0 16y agoWhen I tried it, I used jj as a shortcut for escape. It seemed to work well enough.
- djacobs 16y ago'kj' is (for me) even more natural.
