Cygwin does not aim to adopt Windows conventions within its environment, at least not as the default. People who know what they're doing know what literal next is and does and they use it. How do you get a TAB into a command line with completion enabled? An ESC? A CTRL-A? CTRL-B? CTRL-C? CTRL-D? CTRL-E? CTRL-T? CTRL-P? CTRL-O? CTRL-N? Backslash doesn't handle non-printing characters, only literal next makes it possible to enter them on the command line. Mapping the insert clipboard to the "Insert" key is sufficiently "hella-useful."
