Well when you put it that way it makes sense

Hmm...okay but if you do a test loop to pull events and display them, you'll see that the escape key does still generate an event. Whether or not it's supposed to is, of course, out of my purview.

What version are you on? That makes all the difference.
Just tested the latest version, and escape doesn't throw an event.

Yeah, it definitely used to, but does not do so any longer; programming to take advantage of the old behavior would therefore make no sense.

Whoops, I've tried the latest version, but the worlds with the mods I like are still in 1.2.5 MC with 1.41 CC.
Yeah, it was mostly something I remembered from when I did eventPull test loops a lot to establish input behavior, and I rechecked on the old version rather than the new one.

It would allow a computer to automagically log out a user when they leave the terminal, good for authentication or OS implementations.
Edit: After further thought, complications with multiple users on SMP would be horrific, I guess it wouldn't have much use after all.

You could just do what regular computers do. After a certain time of inactivity, log the user out/go on standby.
