Now repeat this in shell and post result here. I am absolutely sure you
will see ZZ: it is what I see. If you see this bug your terminal
emulator, X11 or whatever authors, but not us: quit when ZZ was received
is an expected behavior and generating user input is not vim business,
vim only consumes input generated by terminal emulator which in turn
receives it from X server which in turn receives it from kernel (and it
receives from hardware).
Also what do you expect to happen if not vim exit?
I did the experiment, and somehow the result is different in konsole and
in the Linux (text) console: Let's say I press and hold z, and while
holding z I press and release Shift.
in konsole:
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
in Linux console (i.e., the Ctrl-Alt-Fn terminal where 1 <= n <= 6)
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
(i.e. the string of letters stops as soon as I hit Shift).
Maybe Vim (in an X11 terminal emulator) displays the ZZ (it may deped on
the 'showcmd' setting) but then Vim exits so fast that you don't have
time to see it. See ":help ZZ".
And the fact that you start Vim with -X doesn't mean that you aren't
running under X11, it's just that in that case Vim doesn't try to use
the special X11 capabilities (such as the clipboard, and the
client-server feature), it still runs in a terminal emulator and _that
terminal_ (xterm, konsole, mlterm, gnome-terminal, etc.) does its input
and output as an X11 GUI, of which Vim has no knowledge.
It is always possible to have ZZ do nothing: in 'nocompatible' mode,
:map ZZ <Nop>
will do it.
Best regards,
Tony.
