GNU Screen capturing key?












0















GNU screen is capturing my ESC key causing problems with vim.



Is there any way to change that behaviour in screen? I believe it enters the command mode however I can do that do that with C-a:

This is not the same as C-a

which I have already mapped to something. I am literally talking about the escape key in the keyboard.



I tried maptimeout 5 from this question but that doesn't help. I think it similar to tmux where do the following fix:



set -s escape-time 0

          GNU Screen was working fine. The following vim option was the problem:



          set mouse=a



          In general, such issues could be related to vim configuration as well. Try to use a minimal vimrc and see if the issue happens.
