imap jj <Esc>

[pyre]

No need to create an alias avoid hitting escape:

  C-c works in most cases
  C-] works always

I prefer not having to press Ctrl. I also map jj to Esc.

I remap my Caps lock key to escape. That's one of the first things I do in a new machine.

[pyre]

I just remap CAPS to Control.
