Hello, I use "old ESC mode" where single ESC works after a delay.
I patched mc to look at KEYBOARD_KEY_TIMEOUT_US environment variable so that delay is configurable (instead of hardcoded 0.5 second one). 25 millisecond timeout works just fine on local ttys, serial lines, and over ssh. So I am setting KEYBOARD_KEY_TIMEOUT_US=25000 in my login scripts. Patch is run tested for at two years now. Please apply. -- vda
