The Esc key running on gvim 7.2 does not work on a windows XP Professional SP3 computer. i.e. pressing the "Esc" key does not exit the current insert mode. "Ctrl-[" does not work either.


This sounds suspiciously like a mapping interfering. First, try starting vim with no startup processed:

 vim -u NONE

and see if you get the same behavior.

If so, check your various mappings:

 :map
 :map!

to see if something is mapped to <esc> or <c-[>

-tim



vim -u NONE

has no problem with the Esc key and

:map
:map!
do not see anything mapped to <esc> or <c-[> .

Is that in the 'no problem' (vim -u NONE) or the problematic case?

If 'vim -u NONE' works properly and 'vim' doesn't, you should look for what mappings are different between the two.

To make the comparison easier, you can try:

vim -u NONE
:redir > ~/vimnone.map.txt
:silent! map
:silent! map!
:redir END

vim (start how you normally start it)
:redir > ~/vim.map.txt
:silent! map
:silent! map!
:redir END

(Then compare the vim and vimnone .map.txt files.)
