Ooh, didn't think of handling the Enter key. That might be worth doing
as well. Will poll some of my users... thanks for the tip!

See, this is why I was hoping for a generic event called something
like "done with editing", in the same way that there's a generic
"paste" event. It's up to the UI and user config to specify exactly
what triggers a paste, and up to my application to simply process
that. But in the absence of such, I'll just collect up advice and mock
something together.
