*macvim-esc*
MacVim can treat a modifier key as Esc in order to avoid having to reach for
the Esc key all the time. The actual modifier key to treat as Esc can be
selected in the preferences (only the left modifier key is affected on
keyboards which have a left and a right modifier key). This is most useful if
Caps Lock has also been remapped to the chosen modifier since it is then
possible to use Caps Lock (which is very easy to reach) to go to normal mode
instead of using Esc (which is somewhat harder to reach). Caps Lock can be
remapped in the "Keyboard & Mouse" System Preference by clicking on the
"Modifier Keys..." button.
This feature works by swapping the modifier key release event for an Esc key
press event, so the Esc is only sent when the modifier is released. Also, if
the modifier is not released quickly enough no Esc event is sent. This way it
is possible to keep using the modifier key as a modifier (by holding the key
down and pressing another key) as well as using it as Esc (by quickly pressing
the key). It is possible to make MacVim send Esc when the modifier is pressed
(which makes the key feel more responsive) by setting the MMFakeEscOnKeyDown
user default, but then that modifier key can only be used as Esc. The timeout
can also be change by setting the MMFakeEscTimeout user default to the desired
timeout in seconds (e.g. if you want to be able to press the modifier more
slowly but still having it count as Esc, then you could increase the timeout
to 1.0).
