Where’s the escape key on my iPhone?
Try: Ctrl and [ That should send the same as Esc (ASCII 27). I seem to remember this working on a new iPad Pro keyboard.
Something else to try is Ctrl-3. This commonly gives the ESC code.

#142I see many comments on broken key combinations. Obviously, we need to somehow overcome a UI/UX limitations of the applications that run inside a browser if we're moving into browsers with the consumer apps. I wrote a dedicated article on this: https://database.blog/trello-hot-keys/
Re: Vim.wasm
#143This is pretty dope, but I'm terrified about the fact that Firefox lets it take over Ctrl+L, Ctrl+1, or any other way (that I can find, at least) of breaking out of Vim with a keyboard aside from closing the tab with Ctrl+W - which is even more terrifying since I use that in Vim a ton, too :O ...but this is pretty cool :D
The actual issue is that Windows and Linux don't properly use a ‘super’ key―while the ‘Win’ key is sitting there uselessly. Ironically, MS' own ‘ergonomic’ (cough) keyboards have gigantic Win keys, right under the thumbs which are the strongest digits. These keys are great to use on Mac, it's an eye-opener as to how the historical keyboard mutations ended up in just the wrong way for two platforms (and for Emacs). I…
I’d love to hear your take on the nonsensical shape and staggered key layout. Do you have suggestions for keyboards that do away with this?
I have myself been looking at https://ergodox-ez.com/ but I’d love to hear of alternatives, especially if you have first hand experience on them.

#144I thought I was getting stuck in insert mode, and I got fairly frustrated before realizing my Vim keybindings browser extension was grabbing ESC and keeping it from this weird browser-Vim. We brought this abomination on ourselves.
We have strayed too far from RMS's light
No, I think the proper persons to look to are the C/Unix folks from bell labs where simplicity and pragmatism ruled.
RMS means well but GNU is a bloated mess.

#145Does anyone know if lynx plans on supporting wasm? I'd like to try this editor in a terminal.
You might be on to something here. I could see this editor working really well in a terminal environment.

What's a terminal? Every kid knows that anything that doesn't run in a browser can't be software.

Ctr+[ Vim-ing on devices with not physical Esc key makes you get used to this (default configured, no extra keymapping required) Esc alternative :P
Frankly I prefer Ctrl-[ over Esc because it requires less hand movement.

Rebound my caps lock to escape and never looked back!

:imap jk Will change your life man.
Hah that’s good one! I need to take a vacation and re-examine my vim life. So many good things to explore and muscle memory to tweak.
