Vimperator :: exit insert mode in a textarea

Tags:

vimperator

For some websites, which grab the focus to a textarea, it's not even possible to exit the "insert" mode in any other way except doing a mouse-click outside the textarea.

Is there any common workaround for this problem?

You can use Ctrl-[ to exit insert mode.

For those who cannot reach [ directly on the keyboard, I managed to map Ctrl-[ to Ctrl-#:

:imap <C-#> <C-[>
