imap / inoremap prints "" instead of leaving insert mode

Hi all,

I tried to remap jj to the <Esc> key in my vimrc file as following:

inoremap jj <Esc>

In insert mode when I press jj I end up with the string "<Esc>" printed on screen instead of vim going back to normal mode.

same problem with imap, <ESC>, <esc>

I'm new to vim using a Yakuake terminal on Fedora 20.
You can find my complete vimrc below.

Tia for any suggestions!

Joris
