You can use Ctrl-[ to exit insert mode.
Vimperator :: exit insert mode in a textarea

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?
Solution
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".
