Question

When we go from INSERT mode to NORMAL/COMMAND mode by pressing the Esc key, the cursor shifts one position back.

I don't want this to happen. I want the cursor to be where it is even after I change into COMMAND mode.

Was it helpful?

Solution

This behavior comes from good ol' vi. To change it:

:inoremap <Esc> <Esc>g`^
