How to remap escape insert mode to 'jk' in fish shell?

I use jk as my escape sequence in vim as well as vi-mode for bash and zshell. How do I do this in fish shell?

i.e. in vim:

inoremap jk <esc>

bash:

bind -m vi-insert '"jk": vi-movement-mode'

zsh

bindkey -M viins 'jk' vi-cmd-mode

What is the fish shell equivalent?

    TLDR;)

    ~/.config/fish/functions/fish_user_key_bindings.fish
---------------------------------------------------
function fish_user_key_bindings
  fish_vi_key_bindings
  bind -M insert -m default jk backward-char force-repaint
end

    And

    ~/.config/fish/config.fish
---------------------------------------------------
set fish_key_bindings fish_user_key_bindings
