NAME

       "Tickit::App::Plugin::EscapePrefix" - "Tickit" application plugin for Escape-prefixed
       shortcut keys

SYNOPSIS

          use Tickit;
          use Tickit::App::Plugin::EscapePrefix;

          my $tickit = Tickit->new;

          Tickit::App::Plugin::EscapePrefix->apply( $tickit );

          ...

          $tickit->run;

DESCRIPTION

       This package applies code to a Tickit instance to let it handle "<Escape >"-prefixed
       shortcut keys, by converting them into the equivalent "<M-...>" modified keys instead.

       Once applied using the "apply" method, the plugin will consume any plain "<Escape>" keys
       typed at the terminal. If another key arrives soon afterwards, this key will be consumed
       and instead a new keypress event emitted that adds the "meta" modifier to it. For example,
       typing "<Escape> <a>" will instead emit the modified key "<M-a>" to the application. If no
       subsequent key arrives after a timeout of 3 seconds then the modification will not apply.

       While the plugin is still pending anothey keypress to modify, a small indicator window
       will appear in the bottom left of the display, showing "ESC-" in a reverse-video style, to
       remind the user the keypress is pending.

METHODS

   apply
          Tickit::App::Plugin::EscapePrefix->apply( $tickit )

       Applies the plugin code to the given toplevel Tickit instance.

TODO

           Much configuration - timeout; style, text and position of indicator window
