I run ksh with set -o vi -o viraw. This forces all input to ksh to be done
in raw mode, with its inefficiencies (not that I care). I need not type ESC
before switching windows to preserve my typeahead. (This is probably why I
never noticed this bug that (most) everyone is yelling about! :-) The real
reason I run with viraw mode is so the ^W word erase and ^U (my line kill)
behave as in vi as soon as I start typing a command.
Emacs mode of ksh always runs in raw mode so no need for the ESC game to
switch from cooked to raw.
