-Fix terminal timeout when pressing escape
------------------------------------------
-
-When you're pressing :kbd:`Escape` to leave insert mode in the terminal, it
-will by default take a second or another keystroke to leave insert mode
-completely and update the statusline. If you find this annoying, you can add
-the following snippet to your :file:`vimrc` to escape insert mode
-immediately:
-
-.. code-block:: vim
-
-   if ! has('gui_running')
-       set ttimeoutlen=10
-       augroup FastEscape
-           autocmd!
-           au InsertEnter * set timeoutlen=0
-           au InsertLeave * set timeoutlen=1000
-       augroup END
-   endif
-
