Escape value x'1C' (decimal 28) This checks the current setting for the escape key. set-esc 3 Escape value x'03' (decimal 3) Previous value x'1C' (decimal 28) This defines the <escape> key as <ctrl>+c. :set-esc esc Escape value x'1B' (decimal 27) Previous value x'03' (decimal 3) This defines the <escape> key as the <break> key. |
