>> Moreover, the delays make it impossible to do "learned" chains of actions

Yeah this resonates for sure. Multiple times per day i tell citrix ctrl+alt+break, down arrow, return (minimise full screen citrix, go to my personal desktop) and about 50% of the time an app inside the citrix session will be delivered the down arrow, return keystrokes :-/

This. Any application that doesn't properly queue the user inputs gets my eternal hatred. Either your application needs to work at the speed of thought, or it needs to properly queue things so when it catches up it executes my commands in order.

Surprisingly, I find MS Windows native stuff to be head-and-shoulders the best at this queuing.

The star menu itself seems to fail at this. And pin entry on a locked windows machine seems random whether it accepts the first keystroke as part of the pin or not.
