The arrow keys, even when disabled in vimrc, type ABCD then go into insert mode. Why?

Question

When I hit the arrow keys in vim I get the behavior illustrated in this illustrated Gif.

I would like to only use hjkl to navigate. Any time I hit the arrow keys (up, down, left or right) I want it tell me to one of the hjkl keys. For example, when I press the up arrow key, I want it to say: Use k and not put me into insert mode or type A.

I added the following to my .vimrc file:

noremap <up> <nop>
noremap <down> <nop>
noremap <left> <nop>
noremap <right> <nop>

nnoremap <Left> :echoe "Use h"<nop>
nnoremap <Right> :echoe "Use l"<nop>
nnoremap <Up> :echoe "Use k"<nop>
nnoremap <Down> :echoe "Use j"<nop>

I have set nocompatible in my ~/.vimrc (vimrc pastebin).

I am using vim-plug to manage my vim plugins.

Here is a list of my vim plugin directories in ~/.vim/bundles/:

After hours of work. I guess I have found this times, at least for myself. If this doesn't work for you, I am sure this problem something about map commands. Try to disable all of them one by one. See, if something you can do.

Delete this line:

map <esc> :noh

This cause the problem for me and I don't know why. You can do :let @/="" instead.
