The Shift+Fx combination is reserved?

So all in all everything seems to be fairly crowded. Suggestions, anyone?

Yeap. Although I do not write anything it pops out every few milliseconds.
It is more like it tries to disappear but it doesn't. And you cannot
concetrate because it is flashing. I use compiz and because of the small
delay to disappear a window maybe it is more annoying. I made some more
testing. If I hit with the mouse somewhere in the script file stops to flash
and remains constant and I can write. Else I still loose the first
keystroke.
