Is there any way to prevent the Escape Menu from popping up when the escape key is pressed? I have no need for that menu and don't ever want to see it again. I've tried changing the key assignment in VEDIT.KEY and even removing it altogether but the escape key seems to be permanently bound to the {ESCAPE] function. Is there perhaps a Config option that I've missed?

Thanks,
Howard

No there isn't a way to disable it now. However, since I am working on VEDIT daily now, I will add a config option for it.

Escape key can not be freely configured.
However, there is limited configurability with Escape_Mode().

For example:
  Escape_Mode('C'+'A'*256)   // Make <ESC> to perform [CANCEL]
This should do what you need.

But it would be better if esc would be fully configurable. I have needed that feature sometimes, too.

Thanks for reminding me about ESCAPE_MODE(). It's perfect for this particular need.
