Question

For some websites, which grab the focus to a textarea, it's not even possible to exit the "insert" mode in any other way except doing a mouse-click outside the textarea.

Is there any common workaround for this problem?

Was it helpful?

Solution

You can use Ctrl-[ to exit insert mode.

OTHER TIPS

For those who cannot reach [ directly on the keyboard, I managed to map Ctrl-[ to Ctrl-#:

:imap <C-#> <C-[>

I use "b" in order to get the command line with buffers. then i replace "buffers" with "q".
