I don't think it's anything different. I don't edit while I'm writing the first draft. But when I do edit, I'm always pressing <Esc>. That's why changed the keymap. /<text> is an editor's best friend.

I can't be the only one who always hits slash and starts typing regex instinctively when I switch to another program (eg Excel...) to try to search
