I 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.
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
This 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…

Unfortunately doesn't work for us that access [ via the AltGr layer. Unless someone knows of a workaround?

I imagine vim wouldn't be very optimized for mobile.
