### I get weird errors when I press `Ctrl-C` in Vim
_Never_ use `Ctrl-C` in Vim.
Using `Ctrl-C` to exit insert mode in Vim is a bad idea. The main issue here is
that `Ctrl-C` in Vim doesn't just leave insert mode, it leaves it without
triggering `InsertLeave` autocommands (as per Vim docs). This is a bad idea and
is likely to break many other things and not just YCM.
Bottom line, if you use `Ctrl-C` to exit insert mode in Vim, you're gonna have a
bad time.
If pressing `<esc>` is too annoying (agreed, it is), we suggest mapping it to
something more convenient. On a QWERTY keyboard, a good pick for the `<esc>` map
is `inoremap jk <Esc>`. This is right on the home row, it's an incredibly rare
digraph in English and if you ever need to type those two chars in sequence in
insert mode, you just type `j`, then wait 500ms, then type `k`.
