suggestion: bash vim modeline support

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. :ConqueTermSplit bash
2. Attempt <esc>k for previous command within bash shell. (or any <esc>
command)

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Expect bash history navigation, but <esc> leaves vims insert mode (as
expected, but unwanted in this context.)

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Vim 7.2
Conque plugin 1.0
Debian sarge, rxvt-unicode

Please provide any additional information below.

Requesting a vim-modeline invocation mode (:ConqueTermVimModeline bash)?
to support sending <esc> to shell.

Thanks for the suggestion. I find this irritating as well.

What I hope to do in the next version is add a configuration variable for 
people to
choose a custom key to leave insert mode. So if a user chooses say <Ctrl-space> 
then
pressing <Esc> would just be sent to the terminal, and stuff like vim modeline 
and
the alt key would work normally.

Fix released with 1.1

From manual:

Normal mode key

let g:ConqueTerm_EscKey = '<Esc>'

This option lets you choose which key you will use to leave insert mode, which 
also
takes you out of the terminal input mode. By default this is the <Esc> key, 
like a
normal Vim buffer.

However, you may want to be able to send the <Esc> key to the terminal, instead 
of
leaving insert mode, for example if you use Vim key mappings to edit the bash 
command
line. In this case you can configure Conque to use a different key to leave 
insert
mode, and pressing <Esc> will send that key press to the terminal.

Control keys are the only that consistently work. Many others, e.g. the <F-> 
keys,
are internally coded with an escape at the beginning, and therefore won't work. 
A
control key such as <C-x> will work fine.
