That is what I get when typing with
-- <C-V> in insert mode.
(((
" C-V C-[
" C-V A-x
x
" C-V <ESC>
echo " " == " " == " "
echo ' ' == ' ' == ' '
)))
where this strange symbol appears as ^[ here,
and x seems to be any key.
In summary, C-[ and ESC equivalent, as somewhat
expected, and Alt is prepends an ESC to any key.
So, for example, if I make an insert-mode mapping
inoremap A-Y :echo 'a banana'
it will make the insert mode wait for a next letter after ESC (or C-[),
which I bypass with a command such as:
inoremap [ <ESC>:up<CR>
BTW. A-Y does not work here to write the imap,
I have to enter it by typing C-V A-Y.
BTW2. I hope these unusual chars don't mess your
emails as it is messing here (not writing it in Vim though..).
Is there a way to make ALT and ESC distinct?
(ok about ESC == CTRL-[).
Best,
