Inconsistent behavior with keys that advance text #39

When advancing text with the right arrow key, if you press the key again while the text is still appearing, nothing happens. All the other buttons to advance text (mouse click, spacebar, enter, numpad enter) will cause the current line to finish displaying instantly. Since there's no text speed option this makes it frustrating to use the right arrow key to advance text.

The "L" key has the same behavior as the right arrow key here too.
The right arrow key also advances scrollback (left arrow key can put you in scrollback mode) while the other text advancing methods you mention don't.
There's a lot of subtleties between what keys do what and I don't know all the reasons behind it.

I do agree that it's a bit confusing and I'll look into making this easier. Thanks for bringing it up!

The 'O' key toggles immediate display of text for all the text-advance functions if you're having issues with it going too slow.
