Esc in Vim Keymap does not exit insert mode

[tristenps]

Current behavior

Pressing doesn't leave insert mode when using the vim editor keymap.

Expected behavior

It should exit insert mode, just like Ctrl+C and Ctrl+[

Steps to reproduce

1. Change/use editor keymap: vim
2. Press i to go into insert mode
3. Pressing esc pauses the cursor blink, but leaves you in insert mode.

Hi to all,

this issue is happening because of local editor search keybinding for escape. This means that currently, we have 2 actions that need to be done for the escape button, in VIM keybinding it must exit the insert mode, and in search results overview it must clear the search.

Since the local editor search will soon be improved and aligned with global search, this issue will be resolved, since the local search input box will automatically clear search results on close rather than using an additional Esc key to clear search highlight.

Thank you for reporting this!

I'll update the issue with a link to local search improvement issue soon and link with PR once it's finished.
EDIT: Link to issue: #762

Closing this in favor of #762. And the fix will be shipped in v0.14.0 which will be released in the next week.
