- Subject: Make "old esc mode" key timeout configurable
- Date: Sun, 30 Jul 2006 14:45:32 +0200
Hello,
I use "old ESC mode" where single ESC works after a delay.
I patched mc to look at KEYBOARD_KEY_TIMEOUT_US environment variable 
so that delay is configurable (instead of hardcoded 0.5 second one).
25 millisecond timeout works just fine on local ttys, serial lines,
and over ssh. So I am setting KEYBOARD_KEY_TIMEOUT_US=25000 in my
login scripts.
Patch is run tested for at two years now.
Please apply.
