(smart keys or something) It is a usb keyboard using evdev/keyboard as the X modules to operate.(imac9,1) The way I've been able to get this to stop is open another terminal, then when the history starts spinning like it does click on the other terminal, and everything seems to stop. As for reproducing this thing seems to have a mind of it's own, some timers firing off to tell it to start searching for the last good word for the "user", (but could be wrong)that ends up being something completely wrong, although a couple of times it did actually work and go right to the word I had in mind, but most of the time this things just causes irritation.
