people often map `jk` or `jj`, or the key to the left of `1` to Esc. I use `jk`.

- foo101 8y agoI tried the idea of using `jk` in the past and found that it surely cannot be a perfect replacement of Escape. Say I perform these mappings: :noremap jk <Esc> :inoremap jk <Esc> Now granted, pressing `jk` in insert mode escapes me to normal mode. But many use cases that work with the Escape key do not work with `jk` anymore. For example, try: :ab hn Hacker News Now type `hn` in insert mode and press Escape, it would expand to `Hacker News` like it should. But then type `hn` in insert mode and press `jk`, it does not expand to `Hacker News`.
