The most straightforward way is to disable Viper in the minibuffer:

(remove-hook 'minibuffer-setup-hook 'viper-minibuffer-setup-sentinel)
(defadvice viper-set-minibuffer-overlay (around vimpulse activate) nil)
(defadvice viper-has-face-support-p (around vimpulse activate) nil)
(define-key minibuffer-local-map (kbd "ESC") 'abort-recursive-edit)

I like the modal editing of the minibuffer, just that it would be nice for pressing

ESC multiple times to exit the minibuffer.

That will remove all modal functionality when using Ex.

This should work without binding RET yourself -- Viper binds RET to
`viper-autoindent', which in Vimpulse calls `comment-indent-new-line'.
I am unable to reproduce the behavior in c-mode or java-mode. What
major mode are you using? Are you using the Git version of Vimpulse?

I'm using scala-mode with latest git version.

Please note that Vimpulse is being discontinued in favor of Evil,[1]
which will do everything Vimpulse does and much more. I will still
provide basic support for Vimpulse to ease the transition, but once
Evil hits its first release, Vimpulse is officially obsolete.
