You can use ctrl-[ instead of esc in vim.

On a german keyboard layout that's somewhere between hardly typeable (requires 3 keys) on Mac and impossible on other OSes (Ctrl+AltGr == AltGr == No Ctrl)

From what I've understood, on a German keyboard you type Control + Ü for ESC, instead of some three-key combo.

Just tested it on my Mac. It's Ctrl + Ä. So this works. However haven't tested yet of what windows/mingw does with this.

If anybody is interested: In Windows it works with Ctrl + Ü.
