Is it possible (in VimFX) to remap the (Shift) Escape? E.g. in my ~/.vimrc I use

    imap jj <ESC>

How users can live with Vim's default behavior (Escape, Ctrl-C, Ctrl-[) is mysterious to me (I do not like hitting Ctrl). :)

You can't categorically remap some key sequence to Escape in VimFx (not sure if you meant Vimperator where you can do this just like in vim). However, you can open the preference and add whatever alternative you want to all of the commands that are mapped to Escape by default.

system bind caps -> ctrl. reduce stress on the pinky

I may give that a try again, however 'jj' was more natural for me.
