Yeah, it’s really interesting to look at how people created interfaces and features before the mouse and GUI became mainstream (and to be clear, I’m not trying to get into an argument about whether a keyboard driven UX is better than a mouse-keyboard UX, generally I agree that for most people spending a ton of time with text, a keyboard-driven UX is going to be more efficient — but the GUI is a very different/separate thing).
Some of the ideas were good, some not so much. But it’s really interesting to see how people compensated for stuff like the lack of context menus and selections and comments and whatnot.
