How to match <Esc> to quit vim-vim, immediately after opening opens if displayed: q <CR>

I put this line in my .vimrc so that I can press escape to exit vim normally:

:nnoremap <Esc> :q<CR>

But now $ vim

causes vim to flash instantly and then exit every time. The same with $ vim filename

.

Deleting the line restores normal behavior. Is there a way to get this functionality? I'm pretty sure I've worked on this before, but can't figure out why it broke between now and then.

Vim may experience some very strange behavior when reassigning <Esc>

. I would recommend using a different key for this unless you need a headache.



See this question for reference: Displaying <esc> in vimrc causes bizzare arrow behavior

Adding :set t_RV= ttymouse=xterm2

to .vimrc fixes the problem (see https://superuser.com/questions/553601/ ).
