Can having this setting set to all keys erase incoming messages(aka fig hits)while you are hitting keys?

Does it act differently while interactive and non-interactive prompts are on?

It doesn't erase incoming fig hits. It's basically the equivalent of hitting a space after every key you press. I don't think it behaves any differently with interactive vs non-interactive, but I haven't played non-interactive enough to really know for sure.

OK, just wanted to make sure I shot that dude.

You talking about me @ ice9? You didn't hit me the 2nd time (did off fedspace tho, dang 12 cpc), I was doing a macro and it went wild and sent me warping... hit the ftr like 20 times and then retreated off it. I had 23 turns in sector, 19 after the retreat (ISS, and I almost never have more than 100 turns at any given time. Tend to ride regen.).
