fyi Control-C = Esc in vim. So the new mac without real esc key just means leaning to do control-c vs. esc if u can't stand the virtual esc key.

<C-c> and <Esc> is not 100% the same because the former sends a signal and other details.

Because I like to use <C-c> too, I have just remapped it to <Esc> in all modes.

Can't you just map another key to Esc, like with xmodmap or its OSX equivalent?
