i trained myself to cope with this nonsense, which was a really bad
thing to learn.  should you bump, nudge or otherwise move the
mouse your characters wind up in /dev/null or worse still, in a
window that _didn't really like them_ -- especially if it was a
window with something running as root.

with click to type you _know_ exactly where the chars are going to go.

acme is a different model, so i can see the reasoning why it
behaves like it does.
