Escape is invisible
Authored by: thinkyhead on Aug 09, '04 05:29:51PM

This hint is completely wrong.

In the Terminal's "Keyboard" section of the "Window Settings..." dialog you can enter the ESC character by pressing option-escape. However escape doesn't show up as a printable character. All this hint does is replace escape-sequences with bindings using the bracket character, which unfortunately prevents typing the bracket character.

Instead, enter your keybindings with ESC included and use the original .inputrc or escaped bindings to get the behavior you want, as outlined in the earlier article mentioned in the first reply.
