How do they escape input mode?
- DandyDev 9y agoBy mapping escape to the otherwise useless caps lock key

- sushibowl 8y agoCtrl+c is technically not quite the same as Esc: it doesn't trigger InsertLeave autocmds, and doesn't finish abbreviations. But as long as you don't have those you'll be fine.
- prewett 9y agoCtrl-[
- gilnaa 9y agoWell, due to a bug in a specific version of vi, holding the space-bar for a few seconds causes the laptop to overheat. I bought an external thermometer that connects via USB, and I have a daemon that monitors it to notice the overheating and send the ESC key to the application.

- fokinsean 8y agoI remap the sequence 'j-k' to esc. It provides really fast exiting of insert mode and leaves you on the home row to navigate after.
