Vim imap jk <Esc> not working

Question

In my vimrc, I've remapped jk to escape using imap.

The problem emerges when I use jk; it doesn't escape, it only echoes out <Esc> .

Here's the entry in quiestion: imap jk <Esc>

It's also a good point to make that I'm also using vim-X11 in fedora.

Answer 1

It looks like your 'cpoptions' settings contains < ; then, special key codes like <Esc> are not recognized.

Find out where this got set via

:verbose set cpo?

or re-write the mapping to use a literal Escape character; enter it via Ctrl + V Esc ; it should appear as ^[ in the buffer.

PS: Though not related, you should usually use :inoremap unless remapping is required.

Answer 2

对于因标题而在这里的人，jk映射在以下情况下也不起作用:set paste启用:set paste 。
