I couldn't get this to work. I do suffer from the jjj problem.
I've tried several solutions; the most effective is to do

inoremap jj <Esc>

and so on, but it has the disadvantage that whenever I type h,j,k,l in
Insert mode there is a slight but annoying pause while vim waits to see
if there are going to repetitions.

I also tried a Tip to make vim return to Normal mode automatically after
an interval:

au InsertEnter * let updaterestore=&updatetime | set updatetime=25000
au InsertLeave * let &updatetime=updaterestore


But I found that annoying too. I came to the conclusion that there is
no really satisfactory way to avoid the problem apart from vigilance.
