# Remove The Delay On The Escape Key
|
|
|
|
By default, tmux imposes a 500ms delay on presses of the escape key. This is in
|
|
case the escape key is used as part of a tmux key binding.
|
|
|
|
I don't use the escape key for any of my tmux key bindings, but I do use the
|
|
escape key quite in other contexts, like Vim.
|
|
|
|
The 500ms delay on the escape key being registered in contexts like Vim is
|
|
annoying at best. This delay can be removed by overriding the `escape-time`
|
|
option.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
set -sg escape-time 0
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Adding this line to your `~/.tmux.conf` file will set the delay to 0ms. The
|
|
`-s` and `-g` flags set the option for the _server_ and the _global server_
|
|
contexts respectively.
