Disadvantage:

in the end, i decided to bind it. you should either put Esc key on a easy position on your keyboard such as traditional CapsLock position, or, when pressing Esc key on the left corner, don't twist your wrist, but move whole hand to it. And, when in terminal, no choice but to press other keys to activate command mode, such as M-SPC.
