Ask HN: Vim users and missing ESC on new Macbook

In https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12791672 at least five users say they'll map the CAPS LOCK key to ESC.

While watching the keynote today, I switched to C-[ and I doubt the transition will be too hard, because I use (mac)vim a lot and my fingers will be typing this combination several times a minute.

I switched to using C-[. Much easier to press than esc.

this is a alternative way.
