I remapped esc to jj based on some excellent blog post I recently read and I love it. Will get the link or post how if anyone is interested.

  Was it this one: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1687701 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1687701 I did the same thing, based on that post. Edit: er, maybe not that one, can't find it in the page. Could have sworn that was it though...

  Probably this one: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1710702 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1710702 That's where I picked it up, too :-) Incidentally I also remap jh to write & exit insert mode (inoremap jh <ESC>:w<cr>). This turns out to be super helpful for web development, which often requires that you hop over to a browser after modifying code.

    It may not have quite the same effect but :au FocusLost * :wa should autosave when you switch to the browser without requiring keypresses.

      Only when using gVim.

      This gets annoying sometimes if you're working in an unnamed file. If you haven't saved yet, or don't intend to (just a scratch buffer or something) it throws an error every time you switch contexts.
