 Currently, vim-mode has some issues with non-US keyboard layouts. If you are using a keyboard layout which *isn't* American and having problems, try installing [keyboard-localization](https://atom.io/packages/keyboard-localization).
 
+#### Double-key Keymaps in Insert Mode
+
+Because the letter keys are typically used to insert characters into the buffer in Insert Mode, binding key combinations like `jj` or `jk` to stand in for `ESC` can be tricky. For example, while the following mapping in `keymap.cson` file will work, you'll notice that the first character doesn't appear on screen until another key is pressed or the keymap wait delay expires (see [KeymapManager::partialMatchTimeout](https://atom.io/docs/api/v1.3.2/KeymapManager)).
+
+```coffeescript
+# This works, but the delay in seeing the first character appear
+# is inconsistent with Vim and can be jarring to the user.
+'atom-text-editor.vim-mode.insert-mode':
+  'j k': 'vim-mode:activate-normal-mode'
+```
+
+An alternative approach proposed in [issue #334 "Remapping ESC"](https://github.com/atom/vim-mode/issues/334#issuecomment-85603175) requires slightly more configuration, but emulates Vim's behavior and eliminates the delay. First, define a function in `init.coffee` which activates Normal Mode if the character immediately before the cursor is the _first_ character in our desired keymapping:
+
+```coffeescript
+# init.coffee
+atom.commands.add 'atom-text-editor', 'activate-normal-mode-if-preceded-by-j': (e) ->
+  targetChar = "j" # This should be the FIRST char in your desired mapping
+  editor = @getModel()
+  pos = editor.getCursorBufferPosition()
+  range = [pos.traverse([0,-1]), pos]
+  lastChar = editor.getTextInBufferRange(range)
+  if lastChar is targetChar
+    editor.backspace() # remove the 'j' character from the buffer
+    atom.commands.dispatch(e.currentTarget, 'vim-mode:activate-normal-mode')
+  else
+    e.abortKeyBinding()
+```
+
+Now, we just need to bind a single key (the _second_ character in our desired mapping) to the command we just created:
+
+```coffeescript
+# keymap.cson
+# Bind 'jk' to ESC. Specifically, while in Insert Mode, bind 'k' to a function defined
+# in init.coffee that activates Normal Mode if the character immediately before the cursor is 'j'.
+'atom-text-editor.vim-mode.insert-mode':
+  'k': 'activate-normal-mode-if-preceded-by-j'
+```
+
+This technique can be adapted to any combination of two keys, such as `jj`, `jk` or—better yet—`kj` (as [Dijkstra](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dijkstra%27s_algorithm) surely would have preferred!) _Note that changes to your `init.coffee` are only picked up upon restarting Atom._
+
+_Caveat:_ In order to enter the mapped characters into a buffer (e.g., typing 'Dijkstra' above), you must first enter those characters separated by a space and then then delete it. This is inconsistent with Vim's behavior, but fortunately it very rarely happens outside of writing documentation about this specific feature!
