If you are the local IT admin and want to make it easier for your users to login to their remote desktop session on the remote server, you can create the RDP shortcut for each of them on their local PC or create it on your PC and provide it to them to save on their desktop. You can also choose to save your username so you don’t need to enter it each time. The shortcut can include customization like enabling printer redirection, enabling clipboard (to copy and paste between the server and local PC), hard drive redirection and more. ttimeout applies only to key codes and not other mappings.Users can create a shortcut on their desktop to the Remote Desktop Connection Client on their local PC to make it easier to login to their remote server. If you don't like having timout set, which times out for other mapped key sequences (after a second by default), then you can use ttimeout instead. That should be enough time to distinguish between Meta encoding and hitting two keys. Esc and j sent within 50ms will be mapped to, greater than 50ms will count as separate keys. The timeout settings are used to work around the ambiguity with escape sequences.
It is possible to work around this by configuring vim to map the escape sequences to their Alt combinations.Īlt-letter will now be recognised by vi in a terminal as well as by gvim. In earlier terminal use, typing Esc j was another way to send a Meta on a keyboard without a Meta key, but this doesn't fit well with vi's use of Esc to leave insert mode. But escape sequences are not problem free either they offer no way of distinguishing between j meaning Alt-j vs pressing Esc followed by j.
To be honest in these days of Unicode editing, the 8-bit encoding is not such a good idea anyway. Some terminal emulators such as xterm can be set to use either mode, but Gnome terminal doesn't offer any such setting.
Vim expects to see the 8 bit encoding rather than the escape sequence.
It can either send 8 bit characters and set the high bit when Alt is used, or it can use escape sequences, sending Alt-a as a. There are two ways for a terminal emulator to send an Alt key (usually called a Meta key as actual terminals didn't have Alt).
