Posting to say that I don't recommend ctrl-c without understanding that it's not equivalent to esc. From the docs: > Quit insert mode, go back to Normal mode. Do not check for abbreviations. Does not trigger the InsertLeave autocommand event. If you don't use abbreviations then there but if insert-based plugins aren't working as described, this may be why. Of course you can solve this with `inoremap <c-c> <esc>`.
