How about doing this check only if 'key' is not in 'isearch- terminators'? I should have added that I removed ESC from my list of terminators, precisely for this reason. Or, even better, move the isearch-terminators check as early as possible. Right now, it doesn't look like a few special characters (C- G/W/Y) will work as they're treated specially around lines 350-355, and the terminator check is at line 362. That way, the whole customization works more consistently, and no keys are treated specially.
