I am using Sublime Text version 3.2.2 Build 3211 on Windows 10 Pro.
Since Preferences.sublime-settings – Default cannot be edited, I have Preferences.sublime-settings – User reading:

// Settings in here override those in “Default/Preferences.sublime-settings”,
// and are overridden in turn by syntax-specific settings.
{
“ignored-packages”: []
}

I closed and reopened Sublime Text. But pressing “Esc” makes no difference. I would expect to go to command mode. What am I not understanding? Is there some other way to enter Vim command mode?
Kind regards

I recommend following Documentation - Vintage Mode

I tried it just now and it worked flawlessly.

Cannot make Vintage work in ST3
