The advantage of keyboard input happening by default is that it handles IME input in the browser, which would otherwise be very difficult or impossible. Great discussion everyone!

Editor devs can listen for text insert event, and if text is about to be inserted in the wrong node they can move the selection to the right place then let the default behavior take place. This all makes me think that this mode is something that noone ever expects to be useful by itself, without any javascript to support it. Yes. My view is that this is a developer's API. ok, that a legitimate position. This should be very clear in instructions spec, etc. for any developer building on top of it: In order to achieve consistent behavior, also insert character events *HAVE TO* be interrupted and the selection potentially moved before the event default takes place. Right now I can't think of the advantage of having the character input take place by default if we have to interrupt it anyway to check for selection, etc., but maybe this is about multi-key character input and alike? Anyway, if I'm sure the CKeditor people have thought this through. -- Johannes Wilm Fidus Writer http://www.fiduswriter.org<http://www.fiduswriter.org/>
