One of the things that bugs me the most about VIM is having to move while in insert mode. With any other programs I can use the arrow keys to move around but with VIM I have learned to use h/j/k/l and in order to enter that mode I have to press escape then I again, Is there a quicker way to do that?

I have my escape button mapped to jj.
That way when I want to enter normal mode fast I double tap jj and my fingers are in a good position to start navigating.
It may seem awkward to begin with but once you get muscle memory it will be like lightening.
