Honestly, I don't see the point in overcomplicating the code to avoid the Meta-key issue. Would you write a command to check if Ctrl-Z is bound to any function and print an error message? My solution is, given the circumstances, a good compromise. By the way, I've been using mutt with my modifications since feb 25 without experiencing *any* issue (my web server logs show me only one person downloaded the tarballs I posted). For those still afraid some user could type ':set esc_key_aborts' *by accident* and then get scared and cry after some esc-key stopped working I wrote another proposal that instead of a user option gives you a compile time one (./configure --enable-vibindings): https://roquesor.com/Downloads/muttesckey-2.tar.gz With this version distribution maintainers will be able to offer this option as a mutt flavour for vi users.
