I'll have to fire up N1MM+ and see what, exactly, it does.  It may not
even switch modes but just toggle ESM.  I seem to recall the CT type
keys are always active but I need to check.

What Tlf actually does, wholly one mode or the other, likely won't matter
in practice.

I do prefer the keyboard though drop-down menus are nice when the gray
matter goes dark!  Otherwise, keep a terminal open with the manual page.
