newbie question: how to add custom keymap for <Esc>

[prmichaelsen]

I tried my best reading the source code, existing issues, and the docs for codemirror and I'm still at a loss. I'm going to continue trying to solve this myself, but in the meantime, I figured I'd ask for help. Thanks!

Hey @prmichaelsen! You can use a keymap facet with a key of "escape" (see example in the docs and in our VS Code keymap extension).

Note that you may have to give your keymap a higher precedence if used in conjunction with our CM Vim extension since we also register a keybinding for Esc

thanks! i'll give it a shot (note to self, i also discovered docs which may help guide me on my vim journey: https://codemirror.net/5/doc/manual.html#vimapi)

https://github.com/replit/codemirror-vim/pull/45/files adds an example of mapping to readme as well.
