It is done on purpose, to allow Shift+Esc to be bound to a different function if desired. It's documented here: [1] http://code.google.com/p/mintty/wiki/Keycodes#Special_keys Shift+ESC sends the Unicode codepoint U+009B, aka the Control Sequence Introducer (CSI) character. In vim, you could map it to Esc like this: map <CSI> <Esc> map! <CSI> <Esc> Andy -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
