ESC key stopped working -- any alternate for menuless vim to get to normal mode?

Hello,

For some unknown reason, my ESC key does not work -- neither on the
laptop keyboard nor on an external keyboard. Is there an alternate to
make VIM (without any menus) get back to normal mode?

Thanks,

--Suresh
