Is there a way to change shortcut to normal mode?

[jheroy]

Esc key was taken by many apps, to use origin Esc function need to press Esc twice every time.
I use unmap <Esc> in svimrc, but not work.

I found a way, put

inoremap <C-j> <Esc>
inoremap <Esc> <Nop>

in svimrc

You could patch the source code at this line:

SketchyVim/src/ax.c

Line 207 in 30f53ca

if (character == ESCAPE && ax->buffer.cursor.mode & NORMAL)

to pass esc to the application regardless of editor state (remove && ax->buffer.cursor.mode & NORMAL).

I found a way, put

inoremap <C-j> <Esc>
inoremap <Esc> <Nop>

in svimrc

This will break vim mode, don't do it like this, because <esc> is used to sync the text state.

Ok, I will try this. Thanks for reply so quickly.
