That's sorta irrelevant though, isn't it? I mean, you could used a name that
actually described what the option does, like K_EXITONARROW or something. And
if you're using the same mode bit to modify multiple behaviors, that's wrong
too. You should use a different mode bit/flag/macro for each unique behavior
requested.

That was if Application X in the future wants that same functionality, it can
use a meaningful macro to enable it.
