title: Why use Esc in vim?
body: <p>The Vi editor was originally written on an ADM-3A terminal, which had the <kbd>Escape</kbd> key in place of the <kbd>Tab</kbd> key (compared to most modern keyboards). Many touch typists appreciate the fact that they can leave their hands on the keyboard home row while using Vim but the use of <kbd>Esc</kbd> makes it compulsory to leave the hands to press <kbd>Esc</kbd>. I am currently learning vim. Should remap <kbd>Esc</kbd> to somewhere else ? What is the most common remap for this case ? or should I leave the idea of remapping <kbd>Esc</kbd> and continue using it ? What do pro users of vim do ?</p>
