Counter-opinion: one could argue that if you're in the middle of typing 
that it should be possible to dismiss it with keystrokes, because now it 
forces you to move your hands over the mouse.  Nedit tries to be a good 
keyboard citizen in that doesn't force you to use the mouse like many 
other UI apps, or is utterly mouse-hostile like emacs.

One better solution might be to leave the unchorded keystrokes disabled 
(return, y, etc., the ones you're likely to be typing) but only enable 
them after a second or so has elapsed.
