OT, although it was mentioned in the article:
I've found that the ctrl+[ shortcut is much more effective than ESC for switching out of insert mode in vim. Is this shortcut not commonly known?
- zachlatta 14y agoI'm always surprised when others don't know about it. To me, using escape defeats the purpose of Vim. It's almost like having to reach for your mouse.
- Nick_C 14y agoUnless you've swapped CapsLock for Esc. Then it's easy as pie. In ~/.Xmodmap: ! Swap Caps Lock with Esc remove Lock = Caps_Lock keysym Escape = Caps_Lock keysym Caps_Lock = Escape add Lock = Caps_Lock
