“… but text editing have nothing common with these.”—Emitting text on key-up events can be useful when implementing key chords (in the stenography-sense). That way you don’t have to rely on timeouts when implementing key chords. Just look at all the hoops that key-chord users have to jump through; anaylzing bigram frequencies, “I adjusted key-chord to sample my current typing frequency”, and so on.
