Vim - close autocomplete menu and go to normal mode when pressing ESC

votes

I'm using MacVim with YouCompleteMe plugin. Everything is awesome, but I have a small problem: pressing escape only closes the autocomplete popup without returning to normal mode - it stays in insert mode. For me, this behaviour is a bit weird - I always expect Esc to mean normal mode, hence my question: Can I force Vim to close the popup menu and go to normal mode on Esc? And how?

Thank you,

t.

I'm not running macvim but the behavior you want is the behavior I get when I try this. – FDinoff
Can you elaborate a bit please? – motanelu
When I use YouCompleteMe and hit escape I go back to normal mode. – FDinoff
Is your .vimrc available somewhere, like .github? I might be missing something! – motanelu
It is on github and bitbucket (same username) but Its more likely your configuration see github.com/Valloric/YouCompleteMe/issues/9 – FDinoff

It is mostly something conflicting in your setup. Take a look at github.com/Valloric/YouCompleteMe/issues/9.

If you have the AutoClose plugin remove it and replace it with delimitMate
