The Escape Key in Vim

Things on this page are fragmentary and immature notes/thoughts of the author. Please read with your own judgement!

  1. CTRL + C as an alternative

  2. Map CapsLock to Escape (preferred)

cons: no caps key, generally speaking I type lower case and then convert letters to upper case as needed u/U ect

  1. Swap CapsLock and Esc works very well until you remote to other desktops

  2. Map/Swap when needed is also a good idea

Please refer the posts below on how to map keys in Windows, Mac and Linux.
