This behavior you describe is common on Windows (and maybe Macintosh as
well). Nowadays it becomes more and more common on applications running on
Unix-based Systems (Linux, Solaris, etc.). Unixes normally did not have this
way of handling user input; I guess lots of typical Unix applications never
will (Emacs e. g.).

Right, a switch would be nice. I don't know if there is any for this. Emacs
at least has it ;-)
