# For When That Escape Key Is Hard To Reach
|
|
|
|
Using Vim to its full potential requires using just about every key on the
|
|
keyboard. Of all those keys, the escape key is particularly important. It's
|
|
how you get back to normal node.
|
|
|
|
If you find the escape key hard to reach or your laptop vendor decided you
|
|
don't need it anymore, what's the alternative?
|
|
|
|
There is a built-in alternative:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
Ctrl-[
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
> Note: If your `<Esc>` key is hard to hit on your keyboard, train yourself to
|
|
> use `CTRL-[`.
|
|
|
|
See `:help Ctrl-[` for more details.
