Ah, ctrl-c for esc is a good idea.

  I use "jk" which works very well for me (fingers stay on the home row).

  Only problem with ctrl-c is that it doesn't function exactly like escape(for example, if you're inserting text on multiple lines in visual block mode, ctrl-c will only insert the text on one line and cancel the command, whereas ctrl-[ or escape will properly insert the text). If that's a problem for you, you can rebind ctrl-c to actually work as escape. Either way, I find it quite comfortable.

  Just know that Ctrl-c is different from Escape. It skips InsertLeave autocmds and cancels the count (i.e., 3aX<C-c> appends 1 'X', but 3aX<Esc> appends 3).
