Naw, I think it would actually work pretty well. Perhaps you missed the
point that repeating the "insert..." key adds more lines -- the idea
being you hit a few times (or hold down repeat -- it's easy to go
backwards too, so a slight overshoot is not a problem) until you've
inserted a chunk you want to respond to.
I think I'll try implementing it and see how I like it...
