RE: mapping a substitute for the Esc key?

Some ideas are at:
http://vim.wikia.com/wiki/Avoid_the_escape_key

I use the bizarre method on that page involving Enter (search
for "ToggleEnterMapping"). It's really weird and it took a while to
get used to it, but pressing Enter is so easy and natural when
one wants to terminate a command that it is now second nature.
I press Ctrl-Enter in gvim to insert a manual end line, or
switch off the mapping with its procedure for that.
