I think the functionality described above is already partly implemented for:
- type NUMERIC
- type ALPHA
- type TERMINAL
settings in the .kbd file. But what behaviour is exactly enabled by the
above types?

Could TERMINAL and NUMERIC by default also be non-predictive?

It is not clear for me from
http://trac.enlightenment.org/e/browser/trunk/e/src/modules/illume/e_kbd.c
and
http://trac.enlightenment.org/e/browser/trunk/e/src/modules/illume/e_kbd_int.c
what effect it has on predictive mode. Also There are many more modes
available like HEX, PASSWORD etc.
