Yes...but I'll answer a question with a question...Why are
you holding down the right mount button on the CLI window ?
(assuming you've learned the CLI has no menus)  The answer
is, its a quick way to suspend output, without having to
press a key, and delete that key.

Here's a question for you: what benefit is there in removing
this behavior ?
