How to prevent the cursor from moving back one character on leaving Insert mode in Vim? (6 answers)

Closed 7 years ago.

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.

:inoremap <Esc> <Esc>g`^
