A Better Mapping to Leave Insert Mode than jk - jdhao's blog

Update 2021-01-14: I ended up writing a plugin called better-escape.vim which aims at solving this issue. A very popular insert mode mapping for Neovim/Vim is to map jk or kj or jj to <ESC> for quicker escaping from the insert mode. I have used the following mapping for quite some time: inoremap jk <ESC>

Ctrl-[ is harder to press than jk for me. YMMV.
