Star also designed the mouse to be used with the keyboard, rather than instead of it. The generic object functions were arranged to the left of the alphanumeric section, to be used by the left hand to operate on the object selected by the mouse in the right. They had a column of wide keys for the main object operations (DELETE, COPY, MOVE, PROPERTIES) and a single-width column further to the left with secondary operations (AGAIN, FIND, SAME [copy properties], OPEN). They also did not have an invisible clipboard. COPY meant what today would be copy+paste, and MOVE, cut+paste. If you wanted a 'clipboard' document it would be manifest and direct like everything else, and you would COPY or MOVE things to and from it.
