You use vim all day and you don't re-map escape? Really?

I don’t remap escape either. I remap caps lock to control and that’s about it. In my opinion most of those screaming loudest about the soft escape key haven’t really used it for more than a minute. It’s not as big of a deal as it’s beubg made out to be.

To me using a remapped escape takes more cognitive energy than using the soft escape.

control-[ ain't so bad
Or C-c with some minor extra config to make it behave identically.
