As an emacs user majority of the time, I got used to pressing C-x C-s for saving files, and frequently makes this mistake in vim, and turns on the ^X mode. However, unlike in linux, where I can quit the ^X mode by pressing esc (or in fact any key), the vim on my mac hangs when I am working in X11. Vim behaves correctly in terminal.app though. Does anyone have an idea on what is causing this? And any solutions?
Cheers!
