Honestly bough how often do you hit escape on a mac? So having it as a digital key won't be the end of the world.

>50x a day, probably. I practically live in Vim.

maybe you mean 50k (not x) because in Vim it's used every 10 seconds, which makes it several thousands times a day

Dozens if not hundreds of times every day. And that’s just in the GUI. I’m not even a Vim user or anything.

That's quite an assumption. What makes you think that'll be an option?
