Topic: VS 2019 <Esc> does not exit insert mode in HTML files - causes error

Hi Jon - sorry, I know escape handling is your favorite topic.  smile

I've been seeing this error ever since I moved to VS2019 (16.8.4).

I'm on version 3.11 of viemu.

Escape does not work to leave insert mode in html files and causes the following error(s) in VS. FYI, I don't have any of the typical extensions that affect this sort of thing (resharper, intellisense extensions, etc). Just naked VS.

Esc works fine in all other file types that I've tried.

By the way, I've noticed that it works correctly if you have any text selected. At that point, the 'SelectionCancel' behavior seems to kick in and it works.

I've tried mapping something to '<S-Up> <esc', but the Shift-up (to select some text) doesn't work.

Thanks!

Anyone else seeing this and maybe have a workaround?

I've tried to remove anything that might be affecting this, but you never know. Be helpful to know if others are seeing this as well.

Re: VS 2019 <Esc> does not exit insert mode in HTML files - causes error

Hi jbirdman, sorry to not respond earlier. Esc handling in VS is quite messy, with the core text editor, language service, and all present 3rd party extensions intercepting it in awkward ways - plus of course Esc is not such an important functionality in any other area than vi emulation. It may very well be that the HTML language service is doing something quite weird that other language services don't. I plan to open source ViEmu in the near future, so hopefully that will help make it easier to debug this issue. Regards -- Jon
