I'm having problems with ConEmu because of the Esc shortcut that hides the window. When I use something that makes use of Esc, such as Vim or git commit, an escape hides the window instead of removing focus and disabling current activity.
I already use Ctrl+~ to hide the console. So I don't need that hotkey. How can I remove it?
If I go to Keys & Macros in settings, I find that shortcut, but it's disabled and cannot be changed at all!

What shortcut? Who can guess? – Maximus – 2016-12-22T09:36:03.257
@Maximus the Esc shortcut? – The Quantum Physicist – 2016-12-22T10:54:42.467
The
Escis the key. I've asked you about action (hotkey description in the list) you try to modify. – Maximus – 2016-12-30T09:33:18.960@Maximus What I see in "Settings", in the "Keys & Macro" section, is a big list. In that list, there's a Hotkey that is "Esc", a Type that is "System", and a Description that is "Minimize ConEmu by Esc when no open consoles left...". I hope that answers your question. If not, let me know. – The Quantum Physicist – 2016-12-31T03:13:33.610
You said "when no open consoles left". Obviously, when you have vim, there is a console. So the shortcut is not triggered in your case. – Maximus – 2016-12-31T15:53:00.203
@Maximus but this is the only shortcut associated with Esc! If I filter with "Esc", everything else is gone! Is this a bug? – The Quantum Physicist – 2016-12-31T17:38:04.383
@Maximus Hi there. Could you please look at this issue again and suggest solutions, since you're the developer of this software? I would really appreciate it. – The Quantum Physicist – 2017-01-11T07:02:16.253
ConEmu doesn't minimize on Esc when there is a console. Run
ConEmu -basicto check. – Maximus – 2017-01-11T11:04:09.683@Maximus Your hint inspired me to hack into the config file, and I did, and fixed the problem (check the answer). Thanks. Also thanks for the great console too :) ... I love it! – The Quantum Physicist – 2017-01-11T11:16:13.307
1ESC does hide the window, which gets me stuck in vim's edit mode. – rzb – 2017-12-28T04:54:48.213
