Subject: disable ESC key?
I'd like to disable the ESC key in interactive mode (I only want to do
so in gui), but the following, which seems like it should work,
doesn't seem to do anything:

:inoremap <esc> <nop>

ideas?

And how would you go back to Normal mode?

Or do you want to never use Normal mode and always remain in Insert
mode, changing Vim to a sort of Notepad clone? See :help -y

Best regards,
Tony.

Neither: I've mapped `jk` to ESC -- I'm just trying to train my
fingers and, like disabling the arrow keys, disabling  the ESC key is
a good way to do that! I solved the problem, though, so all is well.

FWIW, Pressing Ctrl+[ also behaves as ESC, without any additional mapping.

Once you get used to it, you'll never have to stretch your left arm to escape again. Especially when you bind the Control key to Caps Lock key. ;)

I didn't realize this was different for others since I started using a mac
in Japan, but the control key on the Japanese keyboard is in the perfect
location by design. :) Who needs a caps-lock anyway?

Me for one. For titles or for text in all caps such as Unicode
codepoint names or Bugzilla statuses and resolutions.

I suppose though, that if I were writing mostly in CJK scripts (kanji/
hanzi/hanja - hiragana - katakana - hangeul) I would have much less
use of it.

Best regards,
Tony.
