In my experience, using <Esc> as the LHS of a map can have disastrous
side effects in terminal vim, up to and including breaking most of the
non-alphanumeric keys on the keyboard (including the arrow keys,
delete, function keys, page keys, mouse selection, mousewheel
scrolling, etc). I personally recommend this map:
:nnoremap <C-L> :nohl<CR><C-L>
It just seems like a natural extension of <C-L>s default behavior.
