I use <space> as my Easymotion leader..

it's well worth a look, gives you super quick fine grained movement

similarly

    inoremap jj <ESC>

to take you from INSERT mode to NORMAL mode is nice

I've been using

    inoremap jk <ESC>

for a long time now, and it works like a charm.

Likewise. Started with 'jj', but 'jk' is significantly faster. Only downside is that you can't actually type 'jk'. Now everybody thinks I'm serious all the time.

twiddle with the timing settings (I forget). So typing 'jk' only very quickly indeed will register as ESC.

jj is great, I also use ; as : to save a key press on a very common command

I used `;` remapped to `:` for some time as well, but native functionality of `;` is just too awesome!

I like the jj trick as well.
