Hi,
As VIM insists on getting Meta/Alt-keys as binary codes and not as a
ESC-<key>-combination I tried first to revert the rest of my
environment, which handles ESC-<key>-combinations well to what vim
exspects. zsh and mrxvt have option to switch between both (would a
solution for vim, too!). The Midnight Commander insists of getting
ESC-<key>-combinations.
So I reverted everything back to the previous state (using
<ESC>-key-combinations) and inserted:
let c='a'
while c != 'z'
exec "set <M-".toupper(c).">=\e".c
exec "imap \e".c." <M-".toupper(c).">"
let c = nr2char(1+char2nr(c))
endw
in the top of my ~/.vimrc.
NOW F1 did the same as
1~
F2 does a
2~
F3 does a
3~
and so on (those are not mapped in any way and should do nothing
therefore). F5++ acts normally.
Oh, crazy world! I want to <esc>, too! :-/
Regardless what I am trying to do, I shoot into one of my feet, it
seems.
How can I solve the problem, without "infecting" the rest of my
environment?
Keep hacking!

Maybe you can find a $TERM setting which points to some appropriate
termcap/terminfo entry for the Esc-something key combos you're using?
See also
:help termcap
:help 'ttybuiltin'
:help 'timeout'
:help 'ttimeout'
:help 'timeoutlen'
:help 'ttimeoutlen'
etc.
Best regards,
