What if you need to type something like blackjack?

The remapping would trigger <esc> when both j and k are held down at the same time, so typing "blackjack" could be an issue if it were typed quickly and/or chorded.

If you needed to type it, you'd have to pause after typing the k (about a second?) then type the j.
