Yes, that's the idea. Any hints about how to determine it? Trying popular search engines (for some minutes) I was not able to detect anything substantial, may be in part due to the fact that "<Esc>|f" does not constitute a terrible useful search word, may be in other part due to the fact that coincidentally the word "flash" unfortunately is of widespread use in a totally different context (if not in most part due to unknowingness of search engine use, may be). So, is there even some webpage around, where "<Esc>|f" is mentioned (not as part of vim help) as terminal code?
