Emacs in terminal creates fake events on insert

[Johan Andersson]

Hi!

When running Emacs in a terminal and inserting text (via Shift-insert, Ctrl+v, etc...), it seems like Emacs is creating fake events for each character that is inserted. It's like I pressed each character.

So if there's a key binding for "f" and the text "foo" is inserted. The function that the key "f" is bound to is triggered.

Why is that? And can I avoid it?

Thanks!
