Thanks!
I had more luck with CodeMirror.Vim.map('jk', '<Esc>', 'insert') (stolen from here).

This is awesome, thanks. I recommend adding ; after the makeCursorFat and addScript definitions (lines 15 and 22). This prevents Unexpected token 'var' if made into a single line of code (for example, in a bookmarklet).
