I don't understand neither of you two. Why bother with jj or jk when there is
<Ctrl-C>? There are few cases when it differs from how <Esc> works, but those
are rare and make changes big enough to justify jumping to <Esc> anyway.
- farresito 11y agoIt's faster, in my opinion. Using ctrl is one of the reasons people end up with the pinky things in emacs. jk is in my home row. I would rather avoid having to reach the ctrl key. I think ctrl-[ does the exact same thing as ctrl-c. It's just a matter of preference.
- wutbrodo 11y agoI don't really have occasion to press the ctrl key in the course of normal typing in vim, so it's much easier for me to hit jj. In particular, jj is right under my right index finger which makes it one of the easiest key-combos to hit without too much travel or thought.
