Remap ESC for ansi-term

[sbdchd]

When hitting esc in ansi-term, evil switches from insert to normal mode as expected.

This is great for most things, but when using the terminal I want to be able to send esc to some interactive programs.

How would I remap the escape sequence for ansi-term to something like neovim's C-</kbd> C-n?

Note: if I exit evil-mode, I am able to send esc to programs in the terminal.

Edit: I want to have esc send esc to the shell, and another key bind, like C-</kbd> C-n, to switch from insert (in the terminal) to normal mode.

multi-term handles it by binding it to C-c C-e.

You can emulate that in ansi-term with something like this:

  (defun term-send-esc ()
    "Send ESC in term mode."
    (interactive)
    (term-send-raw-string "\e"))

  (evil-define-key 'insert term-raw-map (kbd "C-c C-e") 'term-send-esc)
