Bug #2056: <Esc> does not work as close key under tmux

Description

I found this line in the controller.rb: 

unless mapping == '<Esc>' && term =~ /\A(screen|xterm|vt100)/

Why <Esc> key is disabled under screen term? It is a requirement from tmux to set TERM to screen.

    Here's what I have in my ~/.vimrc for this: 

    if &term =~ "screen" || &term =~ "xterm"
  let g:CommandTCancelMap     = ['<ESC>', '<C-c>']
  let g:CommandTSelectNextMap = ['<C-j>', '<ESC>OB']
  let g:CommandTSelectPrevMap = ['<C-k>', '<ESC>OA']
endif

    Right now I can't remember the exact details of why that line was added, but I do remember that at the time the terminal(s) I tested on were misbehaving when <ESC> was in the list. I haven't retested since then.

    Hmmm, thanks, it's working well. But I think it's need to be documented, because of this behaviour is not obvious at all.
