When changing a setting on a combobox, I caught sight of the above setting, "Run Exiting/OnChange events after value change". This little gem changes the behavior of comboboxes, checkboxes and radiobuttons, so that the OnChange/Exiting events fires immediately after the user has changed the value, instead of having to wait until the field loses focus.
The setting is a per field setting, so you can mix and match according to your needs.

I only just discovered this a couple of weeks ago also.
I think you stop looking at the properties box after a while, and don't notice when they slip in something new.
What is wierd, is you can enable this for time controls, but not calendar controls
Any idea in what version this was added? In R5 (which I still am forced to use), this setting is not available.
Just an FYI, the OnChange() event code will run when the value changes AND when the field loses focus; the behaviour can trip you up sometimes if you're not aware of it.
@TexasSwede: I'm not sure. Maybe 6 or 6.5..
@janeg: The bug you mentioned was fixed in Notes 7.0.3/8.0.1
Add a combobox-field to your Notes-form with the option "Allow values not in list" selected (no need to specify any choices). With code in the onChange-event you can build your own autosuggest function.
