Patch seems to work great and I can now type 'exit' without command mode being spawned when typing the 'i'. It's behaviour is almost identical to VIM's. A little more indepth examination, and I can see VIM's wait is approximately double of what the readline patch's wait time is. However, I think the shorter wait time is more functional as when typing a double char, it in no way takes as long as VIM's wait time unless you type the same char with your finger and then use a toe to type the second char. Matter of fact, I'm starting to find VIM's long wait time length a little annoying. ;-) Great job at guessing the wait time! -- Roger http://rogerx.freeshell.org/
