Hi @rzksobhy78

For custom escape vi mode, please see this section.

Thanks and Regards

Hello, I still have the problem, is there any solution?

For anyone having this issue, you can leverage hooks to set ctrl-c as the escape key only when editing and still be able to send SIGINTs when a command is running. Here's an example:

precmd() {
  # Set SIGINT to ctrl-e while editing a command
  stty intr \^E
}
preexec() {
  # Now set it to ctrl-c when a command is running
  stty intr \^C
}
ZVM_VI_INSERT_ESCAPE_BINDKEY=^C
