I was unable to reproduce the issue, although I have a few ideas which may
explain
this behavior.
I wanted to keep the <Esc> key for going in and out of insert mode, but this
makes it
more difficult to pass the escape character to bash for line editing and such.
To
pass an escape character to bash, you have to press <Esc> twice. Pressing it
twice
will leave you in insert mode.
So, getting back to the issue at hand, it seems like two things could be
happening here:
1. You pressed <esc> twice then <C-w>l, so the second command was sent to bash
since
you never left insert mode.
2. On your keyboard or vim configuration, pressing <C-w>l sends an escape
character
at the beginning of the expression. Typically <C-w> should send the ascii
character
23, however is possible that your setup is sending <Esc>w instead. In the gnome
shell
pressing <Alt>-w sends <Esc>w, but I've never seen it send the escape character
for
control characters.
At any rate, some things to try would be:
1. Make sure you're not pressing <esc> twice by accident.
2. Make sure you don't have any special mappings which are interfering with
<C-w>.
Thanks for the feedback,
Nico
