[implementations-list] Re: vimpulse - visual select with emacs -nw

I got rid of the problem. I don't really know if it will work on a
slow ssh session, but better than nothing :)
place this in your .emacs after the vimpulse stuff:
;; advice viper-intercept-ESC-key to exit visual mode with esc
(defadvice viper-intercept-ESC-key (around
vimpulse-esc-exit-visual-mode activate)
  (when (and vimpulse-visual-mode
	     (not (input-pending-p)))
    (vimpulse-visual-mode nil))
  ad-do-it)

This should do the job.
Anyway, using hjkl is a nice thing to learn :)
