Ctrl+C requires taking your fingers off homerow and pressing two keys at once, though.
Granted, escape also meets those criteria if you map it to the caps lock key, which I do. The jk mapping is still useful in the rare occasions I use vim on my phone, though.
- robervin 4y agoI remap caps lock to ctrl on my OS which does make it a little more ergonomic, but I still prefer your method. Although, whatever wizard taught me vim and gave me their beginner cheat sheet had jj instead of jk.
- cassepipe 4y ago+1 for remapping Caps Lock to Esc. It is easily done in GUI settings in both MacOs and most Linuxes and it is quite useful to have it there OS-WIDE. In the rare cases I need to Caps Lock it is still available by pressing both shift together (there are various Linux options around that) I never bothered to have it map to Ctrl on holding the key in addition of Escape on pressing but it is easily done. There's at least on blog post about that if you search HN
