Bug #1531: Esc key mapping broken for some terminals

Kind bug

Description

Copied from:

if i try to use any cursor keys it will exit command-t and insert a A,B,C or D in the text.

also backspace is just moving backwards for me and not deleting any characters

The explanation can be found in :help vt100-cursor-keys.

The workaround, for now, will be to not set up any mapping for <Esc> when &term is a variant of either vt100 or xterm. In this case <C-c> can be used instead.

The longer-term fix will be to provide a means for users to override the default key mappings from within their .vimrc.

    Ok, have now implemented the second part of the fix (the ability to set overrides for the default mappings) so am going to mark this one as closed.

    Will be available in the 0.5 release which I am about to push out.
