Description
I want to be able to exit insert mode (remove focus from input field) via a key binding. I personally would like <c-c> and fd to be able to mimic the <esc> key.
I have found several issues on this topic and it seems like this still has yet to be implemented. The issues were originally closed with the tag "lack of interest", which does not seem to be the case to me given the number of issues and the wide spread use of this functionality in Vim and in other Vim emulators.
Can we get an update on this?

Research direction
Start by tracing Vimium’s insert-mode handling and existing key-binding behavior for Escape. The work is complete when configurable insert-mode mappings can make Ctrl-C and fd exit the focused input field in the same way as Escape, with behavior that matches the project’s existing mapping conventions.
