Press quickly fd (or the 2-keys sequence of your choice) to:
- escape from all stock evil states to normal state
- escape from evil-lisp-state to normal state
- escape from evil-iedit-state to normal state
- abort evil ex command

And more to come !

M-x package-install RET evil-escape RET
If you don't, open evil-escape.el in Emacs and call
package-install-from-buffer.

Customization
Key sequence
The key sequence can be customized with the variable evil-escape-key-sequence.
For instance to change it for jk:
(setq-default evil-escape-key-sequence "jk")Delay between keys
The delay between the two key presses can be customized with the variable
evil-escape-delay. The default value is 0.1. If your key sequence is
composed with the two same characters it is recommended to set the delay to
0.2.
(setq-default evil-escape-delay 0.2)Unordered key sequence
The key sequence can be entered in any order by setting
the variable evil-escape-unordered-key-sequence to non nil.
Excluding a major mode
A major mode can be excluded by adding it to the list
evil-escape-excluded-major-modes.
Enable only for a list of major modes
An inclusive list of major modes can defined with the variable
evil-escape-enable-only-for-major-modes. When this list is non-nil
then evil-escape is enabled only for the major-modes in the list.
Inhibit evil-escape
A list of zero arity functions can be defined with variable
evil-escape-inhibit-functions, if any of these functions return
non nil then evil-escape is inhibited.
It is also possible to inhibit evil-escape in a let binding by
setting the evil-escape-inhibit variable to non nil.
Assign a key binding directly
It is possible to bind evil-escape' function directly, for
instance to execute evil-escape with C-c C-g:
(global-set-key (kbd "C-c C-g") 'evil-escape)
