Ok, probably a dumb question but...
I'm using vim and inserting some text and I want to save the file. ESC...wait, where is ESC? How can I get back to command mode without an ESC key?

ESC is done with the...the Escape key... which is that button right under the directional pad that looks like a curved arrow.

Yeah, I don't know how that icon means Escape, but somehow, it's supposed to.

ahh, nevermind. I found it. The hardware escape key. Very clever...

oh, thank you gnuite, I found it just as you were posting. Sometimes I forget how useful those hardware keys are.

Personally, I think it would make much more sense if the swoop was counter-clockwise.
