I really don't like that this requires the first key to be Enter. In the edge-case scenario of a glitchy link that appears frozen, it's entirely possible that my Enter keypress might actually make it through and then do something I don't want. I've had mouse and keyboard input get through to seemingly-frozen VNC sessions, so...

Yep, as I wrote below another comment, I share the same sentiment. To mitigate the risk somewhat, I tend to press Ctrl-C a few times before hitting enter to initiate the escape sequence (there are some edge cases where you need more than one Ctrl-C to interrupt). Still not satisfied about it, as there are plenty of situations where that doesn't help. Being in emacs, for example, it could make things worse...

It usually works... I agree that it would be nice if /any/ terminal escape sequence followed by ~ would initiate the escape.

      I'm aware of ZZ and use it occasionally, but I can't get my muscle memory from "occasionally" to "consistently".

You don't need to press enter you can just use ^D.

^E^U<enter> standard practice. It's TCP so the connection either breaks or arrives in order.
