Yes, I've noticed this too. This has to do with the way that xe is 
grabbing the terminal. You may have also noticed this same problem when 
you pipe xe output to less. When you pipe to less, you have to hit enter 
after every keypress, instead of less recognising keypreses as they occur.
You can work around this by doing something like this: 'cat /dev/null | 
xe <command> | less'.
