My pinky is tired - VIM

I hate reaching for escape every time I want to get out of insert mode. If your pinky wants to stay at home on the couch then try this on for size.

:imap kj <ESC>
:imap jk <ESC>

Now when you are done typing hit kj or jk quickly and you will exit insert mode.

Try this on for size in other modes as well.

:vmap kj <ESC>

My pinky can finally get the rest it deserves.
