regular vim -- function keys in Unite's insert mode need to be remapped for xterm

[davidosomething]

Reproduce in gnome-terminal, terminator, or other VTE100 terminal (not newer vte!)
Not an issue with Neovim -- only in regular vim:

.vimrc -- with unite installed, map F key to close unite:

autocmd FileType unite nmap <buffer><special> <F1> <Plug>(unite_all_exit)

in vim:

:Unite -start-insert buffer

result:

Pressing <F1> should close Unite window. Instead it will insert xterm function key value instead ( <Esc>OP ) so you get a newline from O and then letter P in buffer.

I think this fix should be included in Unite:

  nmap <buffer><special> <Esc>OP    <F1>

I added to my vimrc here: https://github.com/davidosomething/dotfiles/blob/0230945bf96a31fbe6972e01a56fe232899e2982/vim/plugin/unite.vim#L147-L159

It is Vim and terminal problem. Not unite.vim problem. Closing.

I think this fix should be included in Unite:

No. I don't want to add the dirty hack.

You should not map <ESC>.
It causes the problem.
