I use jk, and agree that binding escape to something easy is the most impactful change on my vim workflow.<p>I encourage everyone to try it. The amount of times in the last year where i&#x27;ve had to actually type the string &quot;jk&quot; is exactly...one? I think, though perhaps I was imagining even that one. I suppose it really doesn&#x27;t matter what you bind it to as long as you can execute the escape whilst keeping ALL of your fingers on that good ol&#x27; home row.<p>I guess I should also note that I never use vim except in my own environment where i know i have my own vimrc. I totally get why people who are always using remote computers without their vimrc would want to keep default key bindings and thus be forced to use ctrl-[.
