Vim imap jk <Esc> not working
linux, vim
Solution
It looks like your `'cpoptions'` settings contains `<`; then, special key codes like `<Esc>` are not recognized.
Find out where this got set via
:verbose set cpo?
or re-write the mapping to use a literal Escape character; enter it via Ctrl + V Esc; it should appear as `^[` in the buffer.
PS: Though not related, you should usually use `:inoremap` unless remapping is required.
Problem
In my vimrc, I've remapped jk to escape using imap. The problem emerges when I use jk; it doesn't escape, it only echoes out `<Esc>`. Here's the entry in quiestion: `imap jk <Esc>` It's also a good point to make that I'm also using vim-X11 in fedora.
