tcl.esc-level
Makes escape key push a level.
Syntax
esc-level [decnum | .hexnum | esc | ?]
Description
specifies that the <escape> key is to push a level when pressed.
On AP/Unix, this command uses 'set-esc' to enable the special escape key. Without any argument, the usual ESCAPE value (x'1B' or 27) is assigned to the level pushing function. The optional argument defines an alternate value (see the command 'set-esc').
The following arguments are valid on AP/Unix:
'.hexnum' Indicates the key to trigger a level push, designated by its corresponding hexadecimal value.
'decnum' Indicates the key to trigger a level push, designated by its corresponding decimal value.
'esc' Defines escape as x'1B', the normal value for escape.
'?' Displays command usage information without changing any existing settings.
