yea mate, that's correct. when i type things on the new lambda editor then press esc, it actually lost the editor focus not the editing mode to command mode.

- mst 2y agoSee if Ctrl-[ works. I tend to hit that instead of Esc everywhere I'm using a vi-like after having a weird keyboard issue that nerfed my Esc key for a while (long and uninteresting story) and then finding that Ctrl-[ was more comfortable for me anyway. (of course that may not work at all in the lambda editor, I'm mostly using it in terminals with heirloom-ex-vi, but seems easy enough to TIAS some time)
- setopt 2y agoAnother option worth trying is pressing Ctrl-C. Unlike Ctrl-[, it’s not 100% equivalent to ESC (e.g. it prevents abbreviation expansion), but it does put you in normal mode without losing what you did in insert mode.
