I guess you are using vim in a terminal. I think there is no way since
if you hit an arrow key the terminal send an escape code which usually
starts with the same code as for <Esc> key then they are interpreted by
vim. You can check what vim sees when you hit an arrow if hit ctrl-v
+ arrow key in the insert mode.

But your solution will work in gvim.
