How do I make a mode transition without ESC?

[akhasano]

Hello,
It is not working for me https://pit-ray.github.io/win-vind/faq/

I would change ESC to any other button (ideally LCtrl+Win instead ESC) but it doesn't work.
Does it should work in any Windows? I have Windows 10 Pro 21H2 and it doesn't work.
What I am do, I am using portable version unpacked to "D:\soft\win-vind":

• Run as regular user
• From tray - open root directory
• Open .vindrc and put text from page: https://pit-ray.github.io/win-vind/faq/

switch to gui normal, ":e source", trying to restart app.
Expectation: +left or right or down works as +left or right or down. But it still works with "esc" and ignores "caps".
If i put "set cmd_fontname = Times New Roman" and restart - I can see font is changed from Verdana to TNR.
Version: 4.3.3

Can you please advice?
Thanks.

Sorry for the late reply.

I have confirmed that it does not work with the FAQ settings. Perhaps there was a bug in partial mapping due to the macro feature introduced in v4.3.
However, full-mapping or function-id-definition are avalilable. It will be a little duplicative and more long, but it will work.

• Full mapping

inoremap <lctrl-win> <esc-left>

• Function ID definition

inoremap <lctrl-win> to_gui_normal

In this case, you can also disable ESC by using unmap as follows

iunmap <esc-left>

The same settings can be made in other modes.

Thanks for using it.
