Yes, Vim inherits this ultimately from early ASCII teletypes, which had no separate function keys, so Esc and Ctrl-[ are both seen as 0x1B. Similarly Backspace and Ctrl-H, Tab and Ctrl-I, Ctrl-(any letter a-z) with or without Shift, etc. This can just as well be seen as a feature: if your Esc key is too far out of the way, you can use Ctrl-[ instead. But as you found out, mapping either of them applies also to the other. Best regards, Tony. -- -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist. Do not top-post!
