- rsecora 6y agoI've been using vi since 1985 (Xenix vi), and I have never in the need of remapping caps to ESC. But I don't press ESC with the little finger, I use the ring finger. Maybe I use the ring finger because the keyboards of the 80s were too hard. (and there were no ESC usage in those days typewriter training).
- xwdv 6y agoPressing escape is a very slow movement for something that happens quite frequently IMO.
- tzs 6y agoBTW, a lot of people don't realize this, but ESC is the same as CTRL-[. If you have a keyboard with CTRL in a good position, CTRL-[ can actually be very easy to type, requiring very little total movement.
