'off'

'esc'
Defines escape as x'1B', the normal value for escape.
'?' Displays command usage information without changing anything.
Options

Example
set-esc
Escape value x'1C' (decimal 28)
This checks the current setting for the escape key.
set-esc 3
Escape value x'03' (decimal 3)
Previous value x'1C' (decimal 28)
This defines the <escape> key as <ctrl>+c.
:set-esc esc
Escape value x'1B' (decimal 27)
Previous value x'03' (decimal 3)
This defines the <escape> key as the <break> key.
