no physical escape key.. I suspect this will negatively impact vi/vim experience.



I guess we know where Apple comes down in the vi vs. emacs war.


They make sure to irritate everyone equally by having Control to the right of Fn.


Killing the escape key seems weird to me too, but do regular vi users actually rely on the real escape key? It's way too far from home row and sees too much usage for me to not remap something closer like Capslock.


One can always type Ctrl-C or Ctrl-] . Also, remapping ESC to CapsLock is also possible and even preferable to some people.
