meanwhile, i often go through cycle of:
- type chunk of code
- grab mouse, focus tag line
- type a command
- grab mouse, execute the command

would it make more sense to have Esc function as the "position cursor<= br> & focus at the end of tag line of the current window" shortcut? bi= t of
a vi-like behavior; semi mode-switch, from input to execution *area*.

have anything like that been tried in Acme?
