Bug #1953: Not responding to ESC key under mintty or Puttycyg

Description

When using the command-t plugin with Vim, if you press ESC that will typically close the window (and cancel the search)

But it doesn't work for me when run in a terminal emulator like mintty or Puttycyg.

In all other aspects when using these terminals, the ESC key works fine in Vim. I.e. when changing to "normal" mode that works, or anything else.

It's only command-t that is not responding to ESC.

What could be going on that it doesn't work in command-t ?

Mintty v1.0.3 or Puttycyg (not sure) Vim 7.3 Cygwin 1.7.10 Windows XP

Cheers, -adam

    If the TERM type is anything like xterm, you'll probably need to make a special mapping to make the ESC key work. For an example, see this post.

    Ah, thanks Wincent. This worked a treat:

    if &term =~ "xterm" || &term =~ "screen" 

       let g:CommandTCancelMap = ['<ESC>', '<C-c>']

    endif
