you can remap vim to use whatever you'd like instead of esc, or just ditch your caps lock and make that your new escape key.
I know some vim users swear by remapping esc to
jh
or similar so you don't even have to leave the home row10 0 ReplyJust remap it to "E".

3 0 ReplyIn the ancient times, the escape button wasn't at the upper left corner, but to the left of Q (ADM-A3). Vi (and by extension Vim) just haven't adapted to a different keyboard layout.
