When in the Insert state, I would like the key combination "ii" to switch to the Normal state. I tried the method described here, but it does not work for "ii". It works for other combinations I have tried (i.e. "jj" and "jk") but not "ii".
Here is my .emacs.
(setq package-archives '(("gnu" . "http://elpa.gnu.org/packages/")
("marmalade" . "http://marmalade-repo.org/packages/")
("melpa" . "http://melpa.milkbox.net/packages/")))
(add-to-list 'load-path "~/.emacs.d")
(require 'follow-mouse)
(turn-on-follow-mouse)
(package-initialize)
(require 'evil)
(evil-mode 1)
(require 'key-chord)
(setq key-chord-two-keys-delay 0.5)
(key-chord-define evil-insert-state-map "ii" 'evil-normal-state)
(key-chord-mode 1)
EDIT 2014-08-07 11:57 EST I just found out that, after entering the Insert state, I need to type at least one printable character other than "i", and then the binding will work. Does anyone know why that might be?
