I started using Ctrl-C instead of Escape in Vim years ago (long before the Touchbar) as it means I don't have to move my hands from the home position.

- super_mario 7y agoCTRL-[ is standard Vim mapping for Esc.
- secabeen 7y agoIt's deeper than that. Control-[ is the same keycode as escape. [ is the next character after Z in ASCII, and Control-[ is the next character after Control-Z. It's not a mapping, they are one and the same.
- graywh 7y agoctrl-c is a poor substitute for several reasons 1. it cancels any modifiers on the insert command 2. it won't trigger any abbreviations 3. it doesn't work with visual-block insert 4. it bypasses InsertLeave autocommands
