Never knew that Ctrl-C does the same thing as escape. Thanks for the info!

  They're not exactly the same thing, actually, ctrl-c doesn't allow you to expand abbreviations and doesn't trigger the InsertLeave autocommand, but to be honest, I don't think it's that big of a deal. I go between ctrl-c and ctrl-] without thinking.

    Also, 3aa<Esc> appends 3 a's, but 3aa<C-d> appends only 1.

    If you use q: or q/ to edit the command or search history, ctrl-c will close the edit buffer rather than swap out of insert mode.

  Another issue: if you ever use Ctrl-C in a macro, and then try to rerun it, the macro ends on Ctrl-C. I use ^[ to end insert mode. This only happens when you use macros like I do. I took a look at my registers and here's a random one I did four months ago (using Surround.vim to wrap an indented area in div tags). V/^[ ]\{0,2}[^ ]/-1^MS<div class="question"^M
