I apologize for not explaining clearly enough.
I will try once more.

There is a problem with moving ' ' or 'q' into the general "bind"
mechanism, and the same problem applies to extending "bind all"
to handle multiple active terminal types.

The problem is not anything to do with handling the event once we see it.
The existing code, or trivial extensions, can handle that easily.

The problem is that _we do not see_ the keystroke or mouse events
from previously active terminals.  Only those from the current terminal.
