Yes, you are. You are ignoring the part that said "disabled".

Not ignoring, just questioning the need.
*If* like people are saying you can type 'exit' or hit 'Ctrl'+'D' to
exit then there are more
familiar and on easier way to exit.
Some of this may have to be revisited later once more people actually
use it and have
that first hand exposure to what works and what doesn't.
Maybe ^] was added as an additional exit method because Lennart uses
other stuff that
accepts that to exit and thought it would be nice for people who use
that method to be
able to exit the shell session the same way.
If ^] is an emergency exit, that would assume it will work when you
can't type 'exit' and
'Ctrl'+'D' doesn't work either. If it isn't, why would you need ^] 3
times in a second.
If it is going to work when 'exit' and 'Ctrl'+'D' don't, it would need
to intercept the key
presses and decide whether to act on them or pass the to whatever is
running inside the
shell. If you intend those key presses to go to the program running in
the shell you don't
want the shell to act on it on the first key press and exit when what
you really wanted was
to exit the program running inside the shell. Same thing with any other
key combination,
you don't want the shell to exit if what you really wanted was for
something to happen
inside the shell.
There is an argument for an easier key combination, but how do you make
it more
accessible for people who can't hold down a key combination long enough
for the repeat
to kick in?
