Ok. You are speaking about a potential theoretical conflict with some apps.
Whereas I've used this software for a month with most popular programs for
the Om, including tangogps, omgps, web browser, terminal (with text
selection), etc, and saw no conflicts.

Ok, you named one theoretical example, but I'm a practical guy you know :-)

Try your favorite programs and tell me if any of them conflicts, then we can
talk.

Write a program that you really like. Then I'll criticize it without even
looking at it, and see how you react.

I'm relaxed though, some people react much worse.
