Escape with Spacemacs in Tmux
I’ve occasionally been using a SSH session from my Pixel phones for years to login to my servers and write Clojure code in Emacs. I’d often run into an issue where I find myself having a weird time switching between NORMAL and INSERT modes when I’d hit ESCAPE quickly and try to move the cursor.
Googling my random problems
is a favorite pastime,
and I’ve finally stumbled
upon an article about
tmux and vim escape key.
I learned
that it’s probably been tmux
sporadically eating my ESCAPE key,
so I’ve tried disabling the built-in delay
by adding to my
.tmux.conf
:
set -g -s escape-time 0
