### Blinking cursor reset ###

Some applications may reset cursor style, especially cursor blinking,
after terminating, caused by the
[terminfo database](http://invisible-island.net/ncurses/man/terminfo.5.html)
including the corresponding reset sequence in the “normal cursor” setting.
This is avoided with mintty option `SuppressDEC=12`.

### Avoiding escape timeout issues in vim ###

It’s a historical flaw of Unix terminals that the keycode of the escape key, i.e. the escape character, also appears at the start of many other keycodes. This means that on seeing an escape character, an application cannot be sure whether to treat it as an escape key press or whether to expect more characters to complete a longer keycode.
