Agree, it does not completely steals input, and I like it that way. Which is also
why I'm not implementing a standalone application to steal all input, as suggested
by Jindrich Makovicka. Btw, I put the default lock-key at '/', which on a danish
keyboard is SHIFT+'7' which means that two keys are required so that you shouldn't
by accident hit it. I know this is not optimal for some other keyboard layouts, but
send me suggestions and I will change it.
