I am using both the console and text editor within JupyterLab, and I set the text editor keymap to 'vim' and i can edit text just fine when in insert mode. But when trying to exit insert mode using the 'esc' key I just get toggled out of the current window. Is this not the way to exit insert mode?

Right now it will only work for the plain text editor. Look at this issue from the jupyterlab GitHub repository. If you want to enable the functionality you are looking for try this plugin jupyterlab_vim.

I had the same issue: Pressing esc in jupyterlab exits current window.

The solution in my case: Disable vimium in chrome for localhost

I was experiencing this issue while using tridactyl on firefox. As suggested by @Hunaphu, I fixed it disabling tridactyl on localhost.

After entering tridactyl ex mode (pressing :), run blacklistadd http://localhost:8888/ or whatever localhost address you are using.
