Most any X Windows box had this back in the 1990s and late 1980s, and (in the case of DECwindows) including "dead rodent" mode where you could navigate the cursor with the arrow keys; without the benefit of a mouse. One of the simple innovations that MIT X had that Microsoft was frustratingly late to embrace and extend was the Style Guide. Without that, Microsoft Windows and the applications were all over the map with the short-cut usages for many years, where the style guide and the APIs tended to keep X and Motif and CDE applications rather more consistent. http://www.recordare.com/good/hfs88.html http://www.recordare.com/good/hfs88.html http://www.opengroup.org/publications/catalog/t254.htm http://www.opengroup.org/publications/catalog/t254.htm http://developer.apple.com/mac/library/documentation/UserExperience/Conceptual/AppleHIGuidelines/XHIGIntro/XHIGIntro.html http://developer.apple.com/mac/library/documentation/UserExp...
