  • Your Windows build number: (Type ver at a Windows Command Prompt)
    10.0.18362.113

  • What you're doing and what's happening: (Copy & paste specific commands and their output, or include screen shots)
    ssh host@ip
    emacs -nw (the spacemacs version)
    enter insert mode by typing 'i', then type ESC, it doesn't work

  • What's wrong / what should be happening instead:
    when type ESC the spacemacs should enter the normal mode, but show "ESC is undefined", it works well in xshell or mobaxterm.

Are you using WSL's ssh or OpenSSH's ssh.exe?

Not WSL, I use the the native windows OpenSSH's ssh.exe

I'm almost certain that's the problem then. Their keyhandling is notoriously wonky. I'd test with WSL's ssh to see if that works. If WSL's ssh does work, then I'd follow up with the OpenSSH team at powershell/Win32-OpenSSH

If WSL's ssh _does_ work, then I'd follow up with the OpenSSH team at [powershell/Win32-OpenSSH](https://github.com/powershell/Win32-OpenSSH/issues)
