"Unfortunately, without an escape key it’s not possible to leave insert mode. That’s why by default the backslash key (‘\’) is mapped to the ‘Esc’ key. You’re free to overwrite this setting by unmapping the backslash key."
That's great for browsing but I can't picture coding in an editor where I need to stop and look for common command keys. At the moment vim is efficient because [esc]10dd or something but it's just not viable without a keyboard. For reviewing code or making quick edits however this could be incredible.
Why? It's quite convenient for my left-hand pinky on nearly every keyboard that I use, and I've picked up the habit of doing periodic `jk` movements as I'm examining some code. I tried the `jk` combination that some people recommend, but it doesn't work for me.
I've never used a keyboard where escape was convenient to press. I personally use inoremap so 'jk' only does something in insert mode, I hit jk repeatedly all the time in normal mode while I'm thinking.
Yeah, we're invite only right now so our sales & sign up flow is only given to people we let in. There's an application form if you're interested.
The pricing isn't a secret though, just not advertised. Memberly takes 5% (like Kickstarter) and then Amazon takes their payment processing fee which varies according to volume but is typically 2.9% + $0.30.
Not yet, we're focused on the provider workflow side of hte product at the moment. The discovery end will come later, when we have more momentum. We're only working with providers that drive their own traffic right now.
