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.
So, all plugins that imap something to Alt+Key a screwed up in
all non-ascii 8-bit locales. Moreover, such maps breaks normal
text entering.
There is something outside your latin-1 world. Take a look
around, you, 7-bit racists.
- Maybe Bram Moolenaar can type at 100 keystrokes / second, I can't.
Especially if one of the keys is <Esc>, which is far away from almost
everything else.
Assuming one-handed typing, (especially for <Esc>o and <Esc>n)
which is almost always not true for vim users.
Assumption that people use keyboard mappings
where <Esc> is far away is true most of the time
but not always. (Common exception is caps lock
generating <Esc>).

When I say "I can't", I'm talking about me on my keyboard, where the Esc key
is at top left, and the nearest keys are (²³¬) (&1|) (é2@) and F1 (Between
round brackets: unshifted, with Shift, and with AltGr, in that order, for a
single key).
I'm not assuming that _you_ cannot type 100 keystrokes per second, though I
would bet that the Vimmers who can are a minority at best. ;-)
Best regards,
Tony.
