I agree with this, but there is another default combination that is escape , right?

I realized that esc was difficult in vim when I was forced to change due to the original MacBook Pro Touch Bar.

Ctrl-[

It's not bad, but not all that comfortable on my left hand pinky finger.

That’s it! I have come to use this without thinking and I have not noticed any discomfort.

I experienced the same thing in another aspect of my life. My light switches at home can't light the room with just one switch for some reason. Each time I want to enter a room, I have to write LIT in morse with the switch. It was a bit weird at the beginning but now I got used to the pattern and I can do it under two seconds and I have not noticed any discomfort.
