suggestion: bash vim modeline support about conque HOT 2 CLOSED

Thanks for the suggestion. I find this irritating as well.

What I hope to do in the next version is add a configuration variable for 
people to
choose a custom key to leave insert mode. So if a user chooses say <Ctrl-space> 
then
pressing <Esc> would just be sent to the terminal, and stuff like vim modeline 
and
the alt key would work normally.

Fix released with 1.1

From manual:

Normal mode key

let g:ConqueTerm_EscKey = '<Esc>'

This option lets you choose which key you will use to leave insert mode, which 
also
takes you out of the terminal input mode. By default this is the <Esc> key, 
like a
normal Vim buffer.

However, you may want to be able to send the <Esc> key to the terminal, instead 
of
leaving insert mode, for example if you use Vim key mappings to edit the bash 
command
line. In this case you can configure Conque to use a different key to leave 
insert
mode, and pressing <Esc> will send that key press to the terminal.

Control keys are the only that consistently work. Many others, e.g. the <F-> 
keys,
are internally coded with an escape at the beginning, and therefore won't work. 
A
control key such as <C-x> will work fine.
