IMHO, it's a horrible hack that is just broken. It's obscure and we need to rewrite it because it has a bad structure. ^X^Cquit^[ESC][ESC]^C

I'm one of those people who think that Perl is a write-only language
-Linus torvalds
I'm absolutely guilty of self-documenting code, but mostly because I'm sick of everyone else's lying comments.
"I can read this Perl scrip"t should translate to "I'm lying".
ESC + :q!
ESC to enter normal mode (if you're in a different mode like insert) : (colon) to enter commands q to quit ! (or a) to use the quit command withiut keeping any changes
He's speaking the language of the gods..
ESC + (shift) ZZ is faster and also saves your changes!

"The reason I use Perl is because I wanna write scripts that no one can read and no one can understand so that I can keep my job"
IMHO it's a complex, temporary work around with a few issues.
