Description
I could no longer interact with ipython 7.0 / prompt_toolkit 2 in cmder by sending <esc>+<enter>
import subprocess
subprocess.check_output('C:\\tools\\Cmder\\vendor\\conemu-maximus5\\ConEmu\\ConEmuC64.exe -GuiMacro:0 Keys("\\e", "Return")')
The above code will now leave ^[ in the prompt and proceed to the next line instead of forcing to accept a multiline input.
Note that the above code worked fine in ipython 6 / prompt_tookit 1

Research direction
Reproduce the behavior with the provided subprocess command in Cmder using IPython 7 and prompt_toolkit 2, then compare it with IPython 6 and prompt_toolkit 1. Trace how the Esc and Return key sequence is handled; done means Esc+Enter accepts multiline input without leaving ^[ in the prompt.
