I have neovim 0.4.2 running in a session of kiTTY 0.17.4 on OSX. I have pasted a long url while in insert mode.

After doing this, every time I type BKSPC vim adds ^? to my document. Every time I type ESC vim adds ^[ to my document. Because I cannot type ESC I cannot save or exit the document.

How do I get vim to exit insert mode?

    did you paste something? Looks like you are stuck in bracketed paste mode. Don't know of a way out, except for killing it (perhaps entering the bracketed paste end sequence helps) Jul 11, 2020 at 17:11
  • Yes, I did indeed paste a long URL. Jul 13, 2020 at 18:43
