OK - that was what I meant anyway, it affects what
comes next and you don't have to hold it down for this
to happen.

In a Linux tty Emacs (and maybe in general as well),
even if I rebind the escape key (keycode 1) to
something else, this behavior "sticks" around, so when
I hit the key it affects the next input regardless
what it first does.
