M- keybindings are usually placed in a keymap under the ESC prefix key, so you could, e.g., replace the binding on ESC by some direct command: (define-key evil-insert-state-map (kbd "ESC") #'evil-force-normal-state) But this would disable M-TAB as well. There is, afaik, no easy way to get both because you can only have either the direct command bound to ESC or the prefix-map. But I think I do not understand your problem. What *exactly* does not work as you expect? Evil tries to deal with escape/meta in terminal mode (by doing some magic with a command bound to ESC which sometimes behaves like a prefix-map) and it should work in almost all cases. If it does not work we would like to know the exact situation when this happens. And for problems with terminal mode it is important to know which terminal you use and if you use a terminal multiplexer like screen or tmux.
