@LightnessRacesinOrbit Well, when I saw the title initially, it was "Another key used for Esc" and the question didn't look specific to vim at at all. sorry! ¯_(ツ)_/¯

The title is "How to send the ESC signal to vim when my esc key doesn't work?", the only tag is vim, and the problem described in the question is about escaping Vim's insertion mode. Here is the summarising part of the question: "Is there exist another key used to release the insert mode." If that's not specific to Vim and its insert mode, then I don't know what is! | |
| Dec 24, 2016 at 16:46 | comment | added | cat | @LightnessRacesinOrbit It wasn't clear to me this question is supposed to be specific to vim and not all terminal console applications in Unix and Linux. | |
| Dec 24, 2016 at 16:44 | comment | added | Lightness Races in Orbit | @cat: You do get it for free, because vim has that handler in place. You don't have to do anything yourself. This answer works out of the box; I just tried it. Does it work in general for any application? No, but that's not what was asked for. | |
| Dec 24, 2016 at 3:08 | comment | added | cat | @ErikW no, you need to install a handler / trap for your process yourself, you do not get it for free | |
| Dec 24, 2016 at 3:05 | comment | added | Erik W | @cat That is probably true, but it still is a good solution since it handles it as ESC (enter normal mode) | |
| Dec 24, 2016 at 3:00 | comment | added | cat | @ErikW i'm 99% sure that's because vim traps and handles sigint though | |
| Dec 24, 2016 at 2:54 | comment | added | Erik W | @cat It works basically the same in vim though. I am always using Ctrl-C instead of Esc | |

CTRL-C is ASCII 0x03, sends SIGINT to the shell -- isn't the same as ESC.
