Maybe the change introduced by ff98806 should be reverted.
If you are in input mode, pressing ESC and a command may not lead to the desired result. For example:
Enter some text with several "the" (the the the)
(while in normal mode)
gg0
/the
a
^[
n
In words: search for "the", enter input mode (append). Now hit ESC and - as soon as possible - 'n' to search for the next "the". Instead of jumping to the next match, a strange character is appended.
Another example:
(Make sure, ^[ is ESC, a single character)
:let @a='a^[aexam^[aple^['
@a
This should lead to
example
but instead generates
áexamáple
Maybe better try to avoid mappings with META at all?
