Ask HN: What Vim habits did you need to unlearn?

I press ESC twice instead of once every time I want to get out of insert mode.

And the real problem is I have a binding to do ESC with 'jk' instead, but I always forget to use that one.

I can remember to use `jk`, but I can never remember to use `.` for repeating the last edit. :(

most people do `jj`, i thought i was the outlier.

I use '.' a lot, but not nearly as often as I could if I planned my edits a little better.

I picked up both habits at my first job in the industry. That was over 12 years ago now!
