Oh, right: Ctrl-[ is equivalent to ESC! I don't know if it's possible to press this, though. "vi" is especially nasty when it comes to the classig CTRL-C or CTRL-D or CTRL-Z combinations. Though many versions will jump into command mode for CTRL-C, so it's at least worth a try. If CTRL is mapped, that is.
