Opposing data point: the current behavior of esc in Acme is one of the things I miss the most when using other editors.
i've realized i never use the Esc key in Acme.
meanwhile, i often go through cycle of:
- type chunk of code
- grab mouse, focus tag line
- type a command
- grab mouse, execute the command
would it make more sense to have Esc function as the "position cursor
& focus at the end of tag line of the current window" shortcut? bit of
a vi-like behavior; semi mode-switch, from input to execution *area*.
have anything like that been tried in Acme?
