Yeah, Jason is right I think. Didn't check because I'm too lazy to reboot now. I never tried to export EXDELAY, but I got rid of my ESC problems with this piece of elisp in my .emacs:
(when tty-erase-char (set-input-mode t nil t) (setq viper-no-multiple-ESC t)) This should get rid of the stupid ALT=ESC problem that bugs everyone that uses viper in terminals, but I've no idea at all if it works in gnome terminal. It works for me in konsole, konsole+screen and xterm too iirc. Try it and let me know :)
Sorry, that didn't work for me either.
Sorry, I don't know how to fix the problem. I don't know why ESCDELAY didn't work; the most likely explanation is that Emacs doesn't use ncurses. You can try waiting a while to see if someone else on this list replies. Or you can try the help-gnu-emacs list (if you do, then please crosspost to this list.) Or you can switch to running Emacs in your windowing system instead of a terminal.
Either way, let us know what you decide to do in the end -- I am curious.
Thanks for all your help -- at least we know what the problem is now. I guess I'll have to learn to use hjkl for navigation and stop using the arrow keys! John
