No Escape…
Literally there’s not ! On my Axim x50v keyboard, or rather in WM2003 and probably other versions too, the pop-up keyboard has no escape key… So imagine how suprised I was the other day whilst using pocketputty (it’s a must btw) and vi and finding I couldn’t get out of insert mode !!
The simple solution for any of those who get stuck like I did. Use the mapped escape key…
CTRL + [
Hurrah !
Yeah I know it’s two taps and vi is all about swiftness, but we are taking about using vi via windows… Can’t have everything

Just realised I don’t have a Control key on the keyboard either - still have to bring up the on-screen one
Bit quicker than to Ctrl-C’s though.

I don’t know who designs these keyboards, it’s like ‘we can’t be arsed, just leave off the vowels, it’ll save some space and no one uses them anyway”…
we want ctrl and escape, you designers out there!!
