Does anyone else think the "Flush typeahead during battle" switch
is insufficient? As it is, it waits until something HITS you before
flushing the typeahead. I'd like to know as soon as a monster entered
the room. I think there should be an option that would let you know
as soon as anything in your field of vision changed.

When I'm down to 2 hit points, I'd like to be able to type "100." without
worrying that a hobgobblin will walk up and kill me with one swipe.

I agree 1000%. I have discussed this with others, but never thought to
put it here (duh). Everyone I talked with also agreed. Obviously, being
blinded limits your field of vision to nil, so I see(!) no conceptual
problems.
