Escape does not work after auto-indent / multiline was triggered

[mikehaertl]

When auto-indent is activated it seems escaping the current section does no longer work

• nvim test.md
• Go to insert mode
• Press ": you see "|" (| indicates cursor position)
• Press <CR>: you see

  "
  |
  "
  

• Press abc followed by ": you see

  "
  abc"|"
  "
  

I would have expected that the second " character triggers escape and I see this instead:

"
abc
"|

Or is there another way to escape the current section if you're editing a multiline text?

This plugin only provides escape function in the same line now. I recommend you to use <C-o>j to escape multi line text efficiently.

Oh, that's nice. I didn't even know this shortcut and had to look it up. For those like me: :h i_CTRL-O.

So thanks for pointing me to that (and many more useful shortcuts in insert mode that I just learned about).
