Vim tip: Esc is really far away for my pinky, I have short pinkies, don't hate. Here's what to do
macvim, vim
Solution
There are several options: You can alternatively press Ctrl + [, which is equivalent to Esc. You can define a mapping, e.g. `jj`, or `jk` and `kj`. Or you remap another convenient key (Caps Lock, Ctrl), to Esc. You'll find a lenghty discussion at Avoid the escape key on the Vim Tips Wiki.
I recommend mapping the conveniently located, but seldomly used Caps Lock to Esc. It is described in Map caps lock to escape in Windows and Map caps lock to escape in XWindows.
Problem
They say anything you can do from the center of the keyboard is fastest and most efficient. I think Esc is pretty damn far for my pinky to stretch. What should I do?
