In any case, it's bad enough to have so many keycodes starting with Esc,
I definitely don't recommend overloading it with a mapping to boot
(though IIUC modern xterms are supposed to be able send CSI aka 0x9B
instead of Esc [ -- I'm not sure how to make mine do it; version
X.Org6.8.99.903(242), termresponse ^[[>0;242;0c ; but normally I use
gvim, or, less often, Vim in linux or konsole terminals).

Best regards,
Tony.
