So we need two ini file parameters:
esc_mode={0|1|2}
where 0 means "stick forever", 1 means "stick
for some time" (controlled by esc_delay) and 2
means "do not stick". For compatibility,
old_esc_mode should be recognized as an alias
for esc_mode.
esc_delay=<integer>
sets the delay for esc_mode=1 in milliseconds.
Perhaps we don't even need a UI for these
parameters, as they are of limited appeal. I
think the ini file parameters plus a new item
in the FAQ would be enough. Can anyone
implement this quickly? I've never looked into
handling ini parameters, so I can try but this
may take a while.
While we are at it, I have also implemented a
function to clear the contents of the command
line (with panels) on pressing esc. If the
above is implemented, I think we can bind this
function to esc if esc_mode==2. It's very
convenient, and this is the way most other
norton-like shells behave. What do you think?
