Any of those things are better than the feeling of being trapped in a
UI.

And anyway, they're really unlikely, who would use the
finger-contorting atomic option without knowing exactly what they're
doing?  We can even add a warning message, or even a prompt, if
you feel so strongly. If still object, at least I would mention in the
keymap's docstring how to add such a thing.

Do you have a specific scenario in mind where it would help?
