Nice idea but doesn't work in zsh and dash (both with default
configurations tested on Debian Testing). Additionally, zsh seems to
have problems with the '#' in a command: cd /tmp #
doesn't work in zsh.

I don't know much about shells(just using bash and being happy ;-)),
the manual page for dash doesn't mention any escape sequences at
all ;-(.

Just another idea(probably not better):
In the key-press event handler we look for any typed characters (or for
a changed cursor position) and if found, we mark the VTE as "dirty" so
that commands can't be run until the user marked the VTE as clean again
(e.g. by restarting it).

Regards,
Enrico
