"Tickit::App::Plugin::EscapePrefix" - "Tickit" application plugin for Escape-prefixed shortcut keys

perl v5.34.0                                       2022-08-11             Tickit::App::Plugin::EscapePrefix(3pm)

       This package applies code to a Tickit instance to let it handle "<Escape >"-prefixed shortcut keys, by
       converting them into the equivalent "<M-...>" modified keys instead.

       Once applied using the "apply" method, the plugin will consume any plain "<Escape>" keys typed at the
       terminal. If another key arrives soon afterwards, this key will be consumed and instead a new keypress
       event emitted that adds the "meta" modifier to it. For example, typing "<Escape> <a>" will instead emit
       the modified key "<M-a>" to the application. If no subsequent key arrives after a timeout of 3 seconds
       then the modification will not apply.

       While the plugin is still pending anothey keypress to modify, a small indicator window will appear in the
       bottom left of the display, showing "ESC-" in a reverse-video style, to remind the user the keypress is
       pending.
