Consider this as a feature.
I don't want to support that, because it causes mistakes. Consider being in Insert mode and typing "<Esc> o" to open a new line or "<Esc> n" to find the next match. A timeout won't help, the two keys can be typed within ten msec. Using <Esc> for special keys was already a bad idea, this certainly should not be extended for other purposes. Use <Csi> instead. -- >From "know your smileys": O:-) Saint /// Bram Moolenaar -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- http://www.Moolenaar.net \\\ /// sponsor Vim, vote for features -- http://www.Vim.org/sponsor/ \\\ \\\ download, build and distribute -- http://www.A-A-P.org /// \\\ help me help AIDS victims -- http://ICCF-Holland.org ///
