How to Learn Vim: A Four Week Plan

I found remapping Esc to ‘jk’ (as a right-hander) to be solid gold. Index-middle fingers. Practically instantaneous: they’re already on the keys if you’re doing it right.

But don't do that when you plan to use Vim to write in Dutch. I've also tried 'jk' for a while and it worked great until I started writing some texts in my native language: 'ijk' appears to be a pretty common ending for a lot of Dutch words :)

These days I've mapped CAPSLOCk to ESC and super happy with it.

Yup, this mapping is pure gold. I also mapped jj in insert to save (and put me back into insert again). I'm not as good at remembering to use it though.
