I tried the idea of using `jk` in the past and found that it surely cannot be a perfect replacement of Escape.
Say I perform these mappings:
:noremap jk <Esc>
:inoremap jk <Esc>
Now granted, pressing `jk` in insert mode escapes me to normal mode. But many use cases that work with the Escape key do not work with `jk` anymore.
For example, try:
:ab hn Hacker News
Now type `hn` in insert mode and press Escape, it would expand to `Hacker News` like it should. But then type `hn` in insert mode and press `jk`, it does not expand to `Hacker News`.
