If you log into a workstation using the controls account, you may notice that the ESC key on your keyboard is mapped to be a second CAPS LOCK key. We don't know why this was done.

For 'vi' users this poses a problem, as ESC is the way to get out of INSERT mode.

I have implemented a solution, which is more fully explained in my VimEditor wiki page . It maps the key sequence 'j' + 'k' (typed rapidly) to exit out of INSERT mode. For 'power vi' users this is a good habit to get into, allowing you to edit more quickly without having to move all the way over to the ESC key.

Of course ideally users of the controls account (or any shared account) should refrain from remapping keys :)
