From c58ff643763c78bef12874ee39995c9f7f987bc2 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Daniel Thompson Date: Fri, 25 Oct 2019 08:33:28 +0100 Subject: kdb: Tweak escape handling for vi users Currently if sequences such as "\ehelp\r" are delivered to the console then the h gets eaten by the escape handling code. Since pressing escape becomes something of a nervous twitch for vi users (and that escape doesn't have much effect at a shell prompt) it is more helpful to emit the 'h' than the '\e'. We don't simply choose to emit the final character for all escape sequences since that will do odd things for unsupported escape sequences (in other words we retain the existing behaviour once we see '\e[').
