| Oct 23, 2018 at 13:52 | comment | added | Christian Brabandt | I would simply not re-map the escape key. You could try to map it in a VimEnter autocommand, or using a timer, but those are all hacks in my opinion. | |

The closest I found that actually worked is to redefine <Esc> upon entering insert mode the first time. This would infuriate me. If I end up using <Esc> to enter insert mode, then it'd drive me crazy that it never works the first time | |
